Verse 1
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!
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
Pillar of fire-through watches dark! Or radiant cloud by day!
When waves would whelm our tossing bark-Our anchor and our stay!
Verse 4
Pole-star on life's tempestuous deep! Beacon! when doubts surround;
Compass! by which our course we keep; Our deep sea-lead, to sound!
Verse 5
Riches in poverty! our aid In every needful hour!
Unshaken rock! the pilgrim's shade; The soldier's fortress tow'r.
