Your Word is as a Lamp
Lyrics: Carmel – Quidenham
Music: Carmel of Jesus, Mary & Joseph, Seremban, West Malaysia.

Your Word is as a lamp
To light my feet along life’s way
A light no gloom or darkness can defeat,
But makes night day.
Oh Mother make our hearts
Aflame with yours,
Our spirits high,
Our faith a flame that soars.

Yours was a love that did not count
The cost nor seek reward.
That held all earthly fame and joy well lost
For Christ our Lord.
A burning zeal to quench that thirsting cry from Calvary’s height.
With Christ for souls to die

Teach us to die that only Christ
May live and reign alone.
Our hearts and minds our very selves to give,
To be His own.
The frail vase of our lives O may we break over our God.
All reckless for His sake.

St Teresa of Avila
