Author: Bernard Barton Hymnal: Concordia #52 (1918) Lyrics: 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 trav'ler's way;
2 Bread of our souls, whereon we feed,
The manna from on high;
Our guide and chart, wherein we read
Of realms beyond the sky;
3 Word of the ever-living God,
Will of His glorious Son;
Without Thee how could earth be trod,
Or heaven itself be won?
4 Yet to unfold Thy hidden worth,
Thy myst'ries to reveal,
That Spirit which first gave thee forth,
Thy volume must unseal.
5 And we, if we aright would learn
The wisdom it imparts,
Must to its heavenly teaching turn,
With simple, child-like hearts. Topics: The Church and Means of Grace The Word Languages: English Tune Title: ELVET
