Light from Heaven

By F. A. Lorens

Tune: Fillmore

FRIENDS, within my heart is burning Intense love by day and night. I am praying, I am yearning, God may lead you in the light. Jesus help you to surrender, And to make a choice like Ruth; To accept in all its splendor This so grand and precious truth.

Honor, fame, and reputation, Worldly rank in this our day, Are but transient in duration, And will swiftly pass away; But celestial things we cherish, Love for God, and for His flock, Will endure, can never perish, Based on the eternal Rock.

God's professed church has sunken, And is vain in her design; Babylon has made her drunken With her fornication's wine. Hark! a special invitation Calls you out! O, search God's Word, Which goes now to every nation, Telling of our coming Lord.

Darkness reigns, but light is shining From God's Word so bright and clear; Signs in heaven and earth combining Witness that the end is near. Heed the solemn warning message Which encircles now the world, Prophecies and many a presage Which have been to you unfurled.

Light from heaven, may you never Spurn this overwhelming flood. It means death and doom forever To confer with flesh and blood. Rise and follow the example Now of our dear brother Paul. There is help. The flesh may tremble; Christ will lead you through it all.

Tyrone, Oklahoma.
