Author: Mrs. L. M. Beal Bateman Hymnal: Gems and Jewels #80 (1890) Hymnal Title: Gems and Jewels First Line: O Lord, Thy word to me is sweet Refrain First Line: Oh, Light of life, oh Guide Divine Lyrics: 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]
