- 1Lamp of our feet, whereby we trace
- Our path when wont to stray;
- Stream from the fount of heav'nly grace,
- Brook by the trav'ler's way;
- 2Bread of our souls, whereon we feed,
- The manna from on high;
- Our guide and chart, wherein we read
- Of realms beyond the sky.
- 3Word of the everliving God,
- Will of His glorious Son;
- Without thee how could earth be trod,
- Or heaven itself be won?
- 4Yet to unfold thy hidden worth,
- Thy myst'ries to reveal,
- That Spirit which first gave thee forth,
- Thy volume must unseal.
- 5And we, if we aright would learn
- The wisdom it imparts,
- Must to its heavenly teaching turn
- With simple, childlike hearts.
