When Israel through the desert pass'd

Appears in 92 hymnals Topics: Blessings temporal and spiritual The Advantage of Divine Revelation Lyrics: 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 the glorious word of God; 'Tis for our light and guidance given; It sheds its 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 wandering footsteps right; Displays his love, and kindles ours. 4 Its promises rejoice our heart; Its doctrines are divinely true; Knowledge and pleasure it imparts; It comforts and instructs us too. 5 Ye favour'd lands, bless'd with this word; Ye saints, who feel its saving power; Unite your tongues to praise the Lord, And his distinguish'd grace adore.
