Love's Last Labour Not Lost | ||
204
[I know in whom I have believed]
I know in whom I have believed,
To whom my faith was given;
Who sinner never yet deceived
That put his trust in heaven.
To whom my faith was given;
Who sinner never yet deceived
That put his trust in heaven.
He shed upon my infant day
The beauteous dawn of truth,
Illumined with a brighter ray
The advent of my youth.
The beauteous dawn of truth,
205
The advent of my youth.
And when in manhood's path I trod,
In full meridian shone
The Word of Truth—the Word of God,
To light me to His throne!
In full meridian shone
The Word of Truth—the Word of God,
To light me to His throne!
With many winters on my brow,
That living Lamp Divine
Did never brighter shine than now
Within this heart of mine.
That living Lamp Divine
Did never brighter shine than now
Within this heart of mine.
Lamp! to the last thy temple keep,
Let nothing dim thy ray,
Till I in Jesus fall asleep,
To meet the Judgment Day.
Let nothing dim thy ray,
Till I in Jesus fall asleep,
To meet the Judgment Day.
Uncle Timothy.
