His Lamps

Review and Herald Publishing Association · Washington, D.C. · Feb 23, 1905

His lamps are we, To shine where he shall say. And lamps are not for sunny rooms, Nor for the light of day; But for dark places of the earth, Where shame, and wrong, and crime have birth; Or for the musky twilight gray, Where wandering sheep have gone astray; Or where the light of faith grows dim, And souls are groping after him. And as sometimes a flame we find, Clear shining through the night So bright we do not see the lamp, But only see the light, So may we shine — his light the flame — That men may glorify his name! — Missionary Tidings.
