The New Praiseworthy ‎#22

22. The Bible

1 Lamp of our feet, whereby we trace
Our path when apt to stray,
Stream from the fount of heav'nly grace,
Brook by the trav'ler's way; way:

Chorus:
Beautiful Lamp, brightly shine on the way
(Beautiful Lamp, beautiful Lamp,
shine on the way, shine on the way)
Guiding the soul to the mansions of day.
(Guiding the soul, guiding the soul
to the mansions of day, to the mansions of day.)

2 Bread of our souls, whereon we feed,
True manna from on high;
One guide and chart wherein we read
Of realms beyond the sky; [Chorus]

3 Word of the everlasting God,
Will of His glorious Son,
Without thee how could earth be trod,
Or heav'n itself be won? [Chorus]

4 Lord, grant us all aright to learn
The wisdom it imparts,
And to its heav'nly teachings turn
With simple, childlike hearts. [Chorus]
