Trim Up Your Lamp, Brother

Henry R. Trickett • English

Primary Scripture: Matthew 5:14

Verse 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.

Verse 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

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.

Verse 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

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.
