Religion
The Word
From Songs for All Seasons, and Other Poems (1901)
Religion
A lamp unto my feet
Illuming life’s dull way,
Though sternest tempests beat
A lamp unto my feet,
It makes my joy complete
As sunbeams crown the day:--
A lamp unto my feet
Illuming life’s dull way.
The light of this great world
And of the world to come;
With rays of glory pearled,
The light of this great world,
Love’s banner fair unfurled
Mid labor’s busy hum,
The light of this great world
And of the world to come.
