Hymn 271 — Our God is light: and though we go
| 271 | MISS M. BOWLY (1813-1856) | C.M. |
| 1 |
Our God is light: and though we go Across a trackless wild, Jesus, Thy footsteps ever show The path for every child. | |
| 2 |
At every step afresh we prove How surely Thou dost guide, In faithful and forbearing love Which never turns aside. | |
| 3 |
Thou weariest not, most gracious Lord, Though we may weary grow; In season, the sustaining word Thou giv'st our hearts to know. | |
| 4 |
Death's bitter waters met our thirst, But Thou didst make them sweet; Then on our gladdened vision burst God's shady, cool retreat. | |
| 5 |
The manna and the springing well Suffice for every need; And Eshcol's grapes the story tell Of where Thy path doth lead. | |
