595- Let Every Lamp Be Burning

Christian Life: Watchfulness

1

  • Let every lamp be burning bright,
  • The darkest hour is nearing;
  • The darkest hour of earth's long night,
  • Before the Lord's appearing.

Refrain

  • Then trim your lamps, my brethren dear,
  • Then trim your lamps with godly fear;
  • The Master's coming draweth near,
  • Let every lamp be burning.

2

  • Though thousands calmly slumber on,
  • The last great message spurning,
  • We'll rest our living faith upon
  • His promise of returning.

3

  • His word our lamp, His truth our guide,
  • We cannot be mistaken;
  • Though dangers rise on every side,
  • We shall not be forsaken.

4

  • Then let good works with faith appear,
  • To help the world around us;
  • Obedience brings the blessing near
  • When faith has firmly bound us.
