THE BIBLE, by                    
First Line: Lamp of my feet, whereby we trace
Last Line: Our anchor and our stay!
Subject(s): Bible; Jews; Religion; Judaism; Theology


LAMP of my feet, whereby we trace
Our path, when wont to stray!
Stream from the fount of heavenly grace
Brook by the traveller'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!
