Let the Gospel Light Shine Out

Standing like a light­house

On the shores of time

Looking o’er the waves

Of dark­ness

sin

and crime

Open up your win­dows

There’s a work sub­lime

Let the Gos­pel light shine out.

Let the Gos­pel light shine out;

Let the Gos­pel light shine out;

Keep your lamp in or­der

Trimmed and burn­ing bright—

Let the Gos­pel light shine out.

There are hu­man ship­wrecks

Lying all around

O

what mor­al dark­ness

Everywhere is found;

Warn some oth­er ves­sels

Off from dan­gerous ground

Let the Gos­pel light shine out.

Do not let the bush­el

Cover up your light;

Keep your lamp in or­der

Trimmed and burn­ing bright;

Try to be a bless­ing

Brighten up the night

Let the Gos­pel light shine out.

Try to live for Je­sus

Till this life is o’er

For along this path­way

You will pass no more;

Till He bids you wel­come

On the oth­er shore

Let the Gos­pel light shine out.
