| Text: | Lamp of our Feet |
| Author: | Barton |
| Tune: | [Lamp of our feet! by thee we trace] |
| Composer: | G. F. Root |
1 Lamp of our feet by thee we trace
Our path when wont to stray;
The sacred stream of heavenly grace;
The brook beside our way.
Refrain:
Our lamp, our stream, the bread of our souls,
Our anchor and our stay.
A pillar of fire through watches dark,
A radiant clouds by day.
2 Bread of our souls whereon we feed,
True manna from on high
One guide, one chart wherein we read
Of realms beyond the sky. [Refrain]
3 Pillar of fire, through watches dark,
Or radiant cloud by day,
When waves would whelm our tossing bark,
Our anchor and our stay. [Refrain]
4 Childhood's preceptor! manhood's trust!
Old age's firm ally;
Our hope when we go down to dust,
Of life beyond the sky. [Refrain]
