Notes C. M. Text from Psalm 119:105
Lyrics Lamp 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. 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 everlasting God, Will of His glorious Son; Without Thee how could earth be trod, Or heav'n itself be won? Lord, grant us all aright to learn The wisdom it imparts, And to its heav'nly teaching turn, With simple, childlike hearts.
