1 When Israel through the desert pass'd,
A fiery pillar went before,
To guide them through the dreary waste
And lessen the fatigue they bore.
2 Such is Thy glorious word, O God!
'Tis for our light and guidance given;
It sheds a lustre all abroad,
And points the path to bliss and heaven.
3 It fills the soul with sweet delight,
And quickens its inactive powers;
It sets our wand'ring footsteps right;
Displays Thy love, and kindles ours.
4 Ye favor'd lands, that have this word,
Ye saints, who feel its saving power,
Unite your tongues to praise the Lord,
And His distingushed grace adore.
