August 26 Ficer Prichard 2

The Word's a candle, to give light,

The Word will shew thee, where to tread,

The Word will guide thy airy flight,

The Word to heaven will thee lead.

The Word's far beaming light pursue -

Whate'er thou'rt bid by Jesus, do -

Whatever He forbade, eschew -

And thou shalt strait to heaven go.

The Gospel is the lucid star -—

That darts its cheerful gleam abroad,

He, who pursues its rays - tho' far,

Needs never fear to miss his road.

Ficer Rhys Prichard 1579-1644
