Author: F. E. Belden (1858-1945) Hymnal: Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal #595 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7 with refrain First Line: Let every lamp be burning bright Refrain First Line: Then trim your lamps, my brethren dear, Lyrics: 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.
Refrain
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.
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 bring the blessing near
When faith has firmly bound us. [Refrain} Topics: Christan Life Watchfulness Tune Title: DILIGENCE (Belden)
