Text Based On Psalm Chapter 12 (KJV)
The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth,
purified seven times.

THERE IS A LAMP
1.
There is a lamp whose steady light-
Guides the poor traveller in the night:
’Tis God’s own Word! Its beaming ray-
Can turn e’en midnight into day.
2.
There is a store house of rich fair,
Sup-plied with plenty and to spare:
’Tis God’s own Word! It spreads a feast-
For every hungering thirsty guest.
3.
There is a chart whose trac-ings show-
The onward course when tempests blow:
’Tis God’s own Word! There, there is found-
Direction for the homeward bound.
4.
There is a tree whose leaves impart-
Health to the burdened, contrite heart;
’Tis God’s own Word! It cures of sin,
And makes the guilty conscience clean.
5.
Give me this lamp to light my road,
This store house for my daily food;
Give me this chart for life’s rough sea,
These healing leaves, this heavenly tree.
