183 ~ Let Every Lamp Be Burning

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 spuring, Wel'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 atound us; Obedience bring the blessing near When faith has firmly bound us.
