Hymn (Standing)
| Lamp of Our Feet, Whereby We Trace | ||||
| (LAMBETH. C.M.) | ||||
| Bernard D. Barton, 1836 | A. Schulthes, 1871 | |||
| ||||
- 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.. - Bread of our souls, whereon we feed,
True manna from on high;
Our guide and chart, wherein we read
Of realms beyond the sky. - Pillar of fire, through watches dark,
Or radiant cloud by day;
When waves would 'whelm our tossing bark
Our anchor and our stay. - Word of the ever living God,
Will of his glorious Son;
Without thee how could earth be trod,
Or heav'n itself be won?

All:The Word of the Lord endureth forever.
Leader:All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.}}
Assembly: Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life, and they are they that testify of me.
Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Is not my word like a fire, saith the Lord? and like a hammer that breaketh the rocks in pieces?
The word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword. It is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and light unto my path.
Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, that seek him with the whole heart.
