C. M.
Word of the everlasting God.
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,
And radiant cloud by day!
When waves would whelm our tossing bark,
Our anchor and our stay!
4 Word of the everlasting God!
Will of his glorious Son!
Without thee how could earth be trod,
Or heaven itself be won?
Barton.
