GOD'S WORD

1THY Word is a lamp to my foot,
A glorious light to my path;
It furnishes spiritual meat,
And saves me from error and wrath.

2It shows me the object of hope,
The heavens and earth all renew'd;
My pilgrimage never shall stop
Till I reach that blessed abode.

3It's a chart in life's stormy way,
Presenting the seasons and times,
Regarding that glorious day;
It also presents me the signs.

4It's a deed of the saint's blessed lot,
Vouchsaf'd in the kingdom to come;
Whether sceptics believe it or not,
God's people will soon be at home.

5It's a lamp, a light, and a chart,
And a deed of my heavenly home;
It proves, to the joy of my heart,
My Saviour just ready to come.
