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