"YE ARE MY WITNESSES."

TELL me, pilgrim, faint and weary, Trav'ling o'er this pathway dim, Are you shedding light around you? Are you witnessing for Him? Do you try to tell the story Of the precious Saviour's love? Are you hungering and thirsting Evermore your love to prove? Are you seeking out the lost ones Whom the Master died to win? Are you showing them the fountain That can wash away their sin? Are you looking by the wayside For the weary ones who fall? Do you take them to the Saviour Who has promised rest for all? Do you love to read the Bible— Is it precious to your soul? Are its treasures growing richer, As you travel toward the goal? Do you love to talk of Jesus More than all the world beside? Does it bring a holy comfort With his people to abide? Have you made a consecration Of your time and earthly store? If your all is on the altar, Then the Master asks no more. Thus, O pilgrim, should we journey Showing forth the Master's praise, With our lamps all trimmed and burning, That the world may catch their rays.
