By inspiration given;
Bright as a lamp its doctrines shine,
To guide our souls to heaven.
2 It sweetly cheers our drooping hearts,
In this dark vale of tears;
Life, light, and joy it still imparts,
And quells our rising fears.
3 This lamp, through all the tedious night
Of life, shall guide our way,
Till we behold the clearer light
Of an eternal day. Topics: Scriptures Lamp a ; The Godhead Holy Scripture; Grace Throne; Lamp, the Bible a Used With Tune: SPRINGTIDE
