There is a lamp whose steady light
Guides the poor traveler in the night;
‘Tis God’s own Word! Its beaming ray
Can turn the midnight into day.
There is a storehouse of rich fare,
Supplied with plenty and to spare;
‘Tis God’s own Word! There, there is found
Direction for the homeward bound.
Then use this lamp to light thy road;
This storehouse for thy daily food;
This chart to guide thee on thy way
Which leads to heaven’s eternal day.
