Thy word is a lamp unto my feet

There have been multiple renditions of this hymn, composed by Amy Grant and M.W. Smith based on Psalm 119. However, I particularly enjoy the version below by the Maranatha singers. The beauty of their singing is that they keep the accompaniment very minimal and capture you with the perfect blend of their voices!

This hymn can be sung at a responsorial psalm during mass if it goes with the theme of the readings. Additionally, we've also sung the same during wedding masses as well.
Read on to get the lyrics, the audio and also the sheet music for the same!

Here are the lyrics to it :

Thy Word is a Lamp unto my Feet

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet

And a light unto my path

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet

And a light unto my path

When I feel afraid

Think I've lost my way

Still You're there right beside me

And nothing will I fear

As long as You are near

Please be near me to the end

Now I will not forget Your love for me and yet

My heart forever is wandering

Jesus, be my guide and hold me to Your side

And I will love You to the end

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet

And a light unto my path

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet

And a light unto my path

Give it a listen here.



Sheet music :

Here's a very basic arrangement that I wrote with the right hand accompaniment. You could use it for a regular Sunday mass!
