Lord, your words are bread life-giving; on your words my spirit feeds. Lord, your words will be my light thro' death's cold and dreary night; yes, they are my sword prevailing and my cup of joy unfailing. 4 As I pray, dear Jesus, hear me; let your words in me take root. May your Spirit e'er be near me that I bear abundant fruit. May I daily sing your praise, from my heart glad anthems raise, till my highest praise is given in the endless joy of heaven.
