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
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.
