Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.
And a light to my path.
Psalm 119:105
More, oh Lord, than light of morning
To be a lamp to our feet
More than blush and gold adorning
Where light and shadow compete
Where the way is wrought with pitfalls
That the sun cannot expose
As its east to west unravels
The path to life’s curtain-close
More, oh Lord, than resurrection
Of the orb that melts the dark
Pointing in the one direction
That will never miss its mark
Let your word, be like a beacon
And a lamp unto our feet
Let it light the way of reason
Ere death’s solemn gaze we meet
More, oh Lord, than light of heavens
Over each step to preside
Futile is yon molten lantern
Mortal’s deathless crux to guide
Thus, oh Lord, let your Word ever
Be a light unto our way
For Thy Word, oh Lord, will never
Lead the feet of souls astray
