The Song Book of the Salvation Army ‎#654

654. 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 heavenly grace,
Brook by the traveller’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,
And radiant cloud by day,
When waves would whelm 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 that we aright may learn
The wisdom it imparts,
And to its heavenly teaching turn
With simple, childlike hearts.
