Don't Let Your Light Burn Low

Author: M. D. Ussery Hymnal: The New Wonderful Songs for Work and Worship #39 (1938) First Line: O would you be a blessing true Lyrics: 1 O would you be a blessing true, As on through life you go? Be constant in God's service here, Don't let your light burn low. Refrain: Don't let your light burn low, Don't let your light burn low; Be constant in God's service here, Don't let your light burn low. 2 The world is groping in despair, God's love they do not know, So live to guide them to the right, Don't let your light burn low. [Refrain] 3 The loving Saviour needs your aid, In letting sinners know, Salvation's free, who will may come, Don't let your light burn low. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [O would you be a blessing true]
