Keep A Light In The Window Burning

Author: M. A. Maitland Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9350 Lyrics: 1 Keep a light in the window burning, Faint tho’ its glimmering be; It may lighten some homeless wanderer, Tossing on life’s dark sea. It may whisper words of comfort, And hope to the sinking heart; Of the beacon that fadeless gleameth, When the sunbeams of earth depart. 2 Keep a light in the window burning, Brilliantly for a sign; That upon you the Lord of glory Maketh His face to shine. Hoping that some long lost brother, Waylaid in the path of sin; May see its welcome glimmer, And joyfully enter in. 3 Keep a light in the window burning, Ye who in Christ rejoice; And with hopeful souls are waiting, For the sound of the Bridegroom’s voice. Till the light of His glorious presence, Extinguish the feeble ray; Like the morning star it shall vanish, In the light of the perfect day.

Keep a Light in the Window

Author: M. A. Maitland Hymnal: Joyful Songs #18 (1875) First Line: Keep a light in the window burning Lyrics: 1 Keep a light in the window burning, Faint though its glimmering be, It may lighten some homeless wanderer Toss'd upon life's dark sea; It may whisper thoughts of comfort, And hope to the sinking heart, Of the beacon that fadless gleameth, When the sunbeams of earth depart. 2 Keep a light in the window burning, Brilliantly for a sign, That upon you the "God of Israel" Maketh his face to shine; Hoping that some long lost brother, Waylaid in the path of sin, May descry its welcome glimmer, And joyfully enter in. 3 Keep a light in the window burning, Ye who in the Lord rejoice. And with hopeful souls are waiting For the sound of the bridegroom's voice; Till the light of his glorious presence Extinguish the feeble ray, Like the morning star it shall vanish In the light of the "perfect day."
