I am the lamp, Lord,
That Thou set alight,
The flame that beckons,
Through the lone dark night,
Your love is the oil, Lord,
That feeds the flame,
May I burn steadfastly,
Glorifying your name,
Not hid under a bushel,
Away from mortal sight,
But set on a pedestal,
Shining fair and bright,
Like the star of Bethlehem,
That led the wise men three,
Let my light shine that many,
May come seeking thee.
