595   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.

[C]
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.

[C]
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.

[3]
His word our lamp His truth our guide
We cannot be mistaken;
Though dangers rise on every side
We shall not be forsaken.

[C]
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.

[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.

[C]
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.
