Author: H. R. Trickett Hymnal: Songs of Free Grace #44 (1883) First Line: Dark is the world, my brother Refrain First Line: Then trim up your lamp, my brother Lyrics: 1 Dark is the world, my brother,
And thousands are dying in sin;
They know not the way of salvation,
Nor think of the danger they're in.
Chorus:
Then trim up your lamp, my brother,
And let its light blaze thro' the land,
Till the thousands, who perish in darkness,
Have bowed to the Savior's command.
2 You are the light, my brother,
And Jesus has stationed you here
To shine as a beacon of warning,
That all may for judgment prepare. [Chorus]
3 Let your light shine, my brother,
Oh, let not its brightness grow dim;
For all that you do to save sinners,
You do it, my brother, for Him. [Chorus] Scripture: Matthew 5:14 Languages: English Tune Title: [Dark is the world, my brother]
Trim up Your Lamp, Brother
