O may Thy Word

Author: V. E. Marsh Hymnal: Fair as the Morning. Hymns and Tunes for Praise in the Sunday-School #149 (1891) First Line: O may Thy word, my God Lyrics: 1 O may Thy word, my God, A light before me shine, To guide my feet upon thy way To that blest house of Thine. O may Thy word, my God, My guide and counsel be, When trials and temptations come, To turn my thoughts to Thee. 2 O may Thy word, my God, My comfort be, and cheer, When friends are false, or death shall take From me the loved and dear. O may Thy word, my God, Like lighthouse on the sea, Show where the cruel breakers, And make a path to Thee. 3 O may Thy word, my God, Beam like the gentle moon Upon my eyes that waiting look, While shadows round me loom. O may Thy word, my God, So full of truth and love, Teach every heart to worship Thee, And look in trust above. Topics: Holy Word of God Languages: English Tune Title: [O may Thy word, my God]

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Person Name: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[O may Thy word, my God]" in Fair as the Morning. Hymns and Tunes for Praise in the Sunday-School William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman
