1 O Lord, Thy word to me is sweet,
A lamp to guide my wayward feet,
A light to shine my path along,
And makes my heart break forth in song.

Chorus:
Oh, Light of life, oh Guide Divine,
With joy I place my hand in Thine,
Be Thou my Guide, be Thou my Stay,
And keep me in the narrow way.

2 Word after word, and line on line,
Thy precepts ‘round my heart entwine;
A bounteous feast of living bread,
My hungry soul is daily fed. [Chorus]

3 A comfort sweet in sorest need,
A Friend of friends art Thou indeed,
A staff of life on Thee I lean,
Nor even death shall come between. [Chorus]
