1 Lamp of our feet, whereby we trace
Our path, when wont to stray,
Stream from the fount of heav'nly grace,
Brook by the traveler's way.
Our path, when wont to stray,
Stream from the fount of heav'nly grace,
Brook by the traveler's way.
2 Bread of our souls, whereon we feed,
True manna from on high;
Our guide and chart, wherein we read
Of realms beyond the sky:
True manna from on high;
Our guide and chart, wherein we read
Of realms beyond the sky:
3 Pillar of fire, through watches dark,
Or radiant cloud by day;
When waves would break our tossing bark,
Our anchor and our stay:
Or radiant cloud by day;
When waves would break our tossing bark,
Our anchor and our stay:
4 Word of the ever-living God,
Will of His glorious Son;
Without Thee how could earth be trod,
Or heaven itself be won?
Will of His glorious Son;
Without Thee how could earth be trod,
Or heaven itself be won?
