THE WORD

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.

Bread of our souls, whereon we feed,

True manna from on high.

Our guide and chart, wherein we read

Of realms beyond the sky.

Word of the ever-living God,

Will of His glorious Son,

Without You how could earth be trod,

Or heaven’s race be won?

Lord, grant that we aright may learn

The wisdom it imparts,

And to its heavenly teaching turn

With simple, childlike hearts.
