God's Word
 
1. Your word is a lamp to my foot, 
A glorious light to my path;
It fills and sustains me with heavenly food, 
And saves me from error and wrath. 
 
2. It shows me the object of hope, 
The heavens and earth all renew'd;
A pilgrim, I wander, and never shall stop 
Till I reach that blessed abode. 
 
3. In life's stormy way, it's a chart, 
Presenting the seasons and times,
It points out that glorious day to my heart 
And gives me the clear warning signs. 
 
4. It speaks of the saints' blessed lot, 
Prepared in the kingdom to come;
No matter if sceptics believe it or not,
God's people will soon be at home. 
 
5. A lamp, and a light, and a chart, 
A deed of my heavenly home;
Its prophecies show, to the joy of my heart, 
My Saviour just ready to come.
