NEARER TO THEE. 19 NOTE. -In Hymn 325, only the first repeat; and in 326, only the second is used. In Hymn 325, the last line but one is repeated only in singing Bethany. 5 On as thy spirit hast thou poured, To us thy word has come : 3 Here the Redeemer's gentle voice Spreads heavenly peace around; And life and everlasting joys Attend the blissful sound. 332. The Bible. BARTON. 1 LAMP of our feet, whereby we trace Our path when wont to stray; Stream from the fount of heavenly grace, Brook by the traveller's way. We feel, we thank thy quickening, Lord! 2 Bread of our souls, whereon we feed; True manna from on high; Our guide and chart, wherein we read Of realms beyond the sky. 3 Our shield and buckler in the fight; 4 Childhood's preceptor, manhood's trust, Old age's firm ally; Our hope when we go down to dust; Our immortality. |
