And our footsteps guideth;
Who its truth believeth
Light and joy receiveth.
2 When our foes are near us,
Then Thy Word doth cheer us,
Word of consolation,
Message of salvation.
3 When the storms are o’er us,
And dark clouds before us,
Then its light directeth,
And our way protecteth.
4 Who can tell the pleasure,
Who recount the treasure,
By Thy Word imparted
To the simple-hearted?
5 Word of mercy, giving
Succor to the living;
Word of life, supplying
Comfort to the dying!
6 O that we, discerning,
Its most holy learning,
Lord, may love and fear Thee,
Evermore be near Thee!
Amen. Topics: The Word Used With Tune: LEOMINSTER
