Let every lamp be burning bright
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.
Chorus.
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 uponHis 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 shame the world around us;Obedience brings the blessing nearWhen faith has firmly bound us.
