"Lamp of Our Feet Whereby We Trace" by Bernard Barton, 1784-1849 Text From: THE HANDBOOK TO THE LUTHERAN HYMNAL (St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1942) p.210 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. 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, Or radiant cloud by day; When waves would break our tossing bark, Our anchor and our stay; 4. Word of the ever-living God, Will of His glorious Son; Without thee, how could earth be trod Or heaven itself be won? 5. Lord, grant us all aright to learn The wisdom it imparts And to its heavenly teaching turn With simple, childlike hearts. __________________________________________ Notes from _The Lutheran Hymnal_ Hymn #291 Text: Ps. 119:105 Author: Bernard Barton, 1826 Composer: William Croft, 1708 Tune: "St. Anne" _________________________________________________________ This text was converted to ascii format for Project Wittenberg by Debbie Harris and is in the public domain.
