OUR GUIDE.

By P. Alderman

We have a lamp of heavenly light, Why should our footsteps stray? And more and more its light will shine Unto the perfect day. 'Tis hung for all, this lamp so bright, Though few behold its radiant light.
The holy word will guide our feet Through dangers yet to come; Not long we tread the vale of tears, And just beyond is home. O light of lights! O truth divine! Forever on my pathway shine.
If anxious care or lonely fears Over our spirits roll, We listen, and the whispered peace Comes sweetly to the soul. We look, to find the glowing rays Shine all the more in darkest days.
Pilgrim and stranger though we be, Our chart will safely guide From earth and toil to rest and Heaven, If we by it abide. It lightens up the narrow way, Why should our footsteps ever stray?
P. ALDERMAN.
