169. His Lamp Am I

1 His lamp am I, so I must shine,
Nor let my little light grow dim;
Send forth His love-rays far and wide,
Some wand’ring soul to lead to Him.

Refrain:
His lamp am I, to cheer and guide,
His love to tell, His praise to show,
By my small light, if burning bright,
His name to glorify below.

2 His lamp am I, to spread good cheer,
To others’ feet safe guidance lend,
To drive the clouds of doubt away,
And show the Christ, the sinners’ Friend. [Refrain]

3 His lamp am I, though small the flame,
From day to day I’ll lift it high,
My aim to keep it burning true,
His blessed name to glorify. [Refrain]
