Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book ‎#119

119. Lamp of our feet, whereby we trace

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 traveler's way.

2 Bread of our souls, whereon we feed,
True manna from on high;
Our guide and chart, wherein we read
Of realms beyond the sky:

3 Pillar of fire, through watches dark,
Or radiant cloud by day;
When waves would break our tossing bark,
Our anchor and our stay:

4 Word of the ever-living God,
Will of His glorious Son;
Without Thee how could earth be trod,
Or heaven itself be won?

5 Lord, grant us all aright to learn
The wisdom it imparts;
And to its heavenly teaching turn,
With simple, childlike hearts.
