Lamp of Our Feet Whereby We Trace

Melody -

Bernard Barton

Lamp of our feet whereby we trace
Our path when wont to stray;
Stream from the fount of heavenly 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;

  3. Pillar of fire, through watches dark,
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?

5. Lord, grant us all a right to learn
The wisdom it imparts
And to its heavenly teaching turn
With simple, child-like hearts.
