Lamp of Our Feet, Whereby We Trace
Bernard Barton (1826) • English
Primary Scripture: Exodus 13:17-22
Verse 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:
Verse 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;
Verse 3
Word of the ever-lasting God, Will of His glorious Son; Without Thee how could earth be trod, Or heaven itself be won?
Verse 4
Lord, grant us all aright to learn The wisdom it imparts; And to its heavenly teaching turn, With simple, childlike hearts. AMEN.
