\nLet every lamp be burning bright,
\nThe darkest hour is nearing;
\nThe darkest hour of earth’s long night,
\nBefore the Lord’s appearing.<\/p>\n
Refrain
\nThen trim your lamps, my brethren dear,
\nThen trim your lamps with godly fear;
\nThe Master’s coming draweth near,
\nLet every lamp be burning.<\/p>\n
2
\nThough thousands calmly slumber on,
\nThe last great message spurning,
\nWe’ll rest our living faith upon
\nHis promise of returning.<\/p>\n
3
\nHis word our lamp, His truth our guide,
\nWe cannot be mistaken;
\nThough dangers rise on every side,
\nWe shall not be forsaken.<\/p>\n
4
\nThen let good works with faith appear,
\nTo help the world around us;
\nObedience bring the blessing near
\nWhen faith has firmly bound us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
