149. O may Thy Word

1 O may Thy word, my God,
A light before me shine,
To guide my feet upon thy way
To that blest house of Thine.
O may Thy word, my God,
My guide and counsel be,
When trials and temptations come,
To turn my thoughts to Thee.

2 O may Thy word, my God,
My comfort be, and cheer,
When friends are false, or death shall take
From me the loved and dear.
O may Thy word, my God,
Like lighthouse on the sea,
Show where the cruel breakers,
And make a path to Thee.

3 O may Thy word, my God,
Beam like the gentle moon
Upon my eyes that waiting look,
While shadows round me loom.
O may Thy word, my God,
So full of truth and love,
Teach every heart to worship Thee,
And look in trust above.
