Author: Ellen L. Goreh Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Lo, the darkness gathers round us Refrain First Line: Let the beacon lights be burning Lyrics: 1 Lo, the darkness gathers round us: Christians, we must watch and pray; Many secret foes surround us, Dangers threaten night and day. While the enemy is keeping Careful vigil in his tower, Should the Church of Christ be sleeping At her ease in pleasure’s bower? Refrain: Let the beacon lights be burning With a clear and ruddy glow; Eager eyes to us are turning— Steady gleams toward them throw! 2 Quicken we the dying embers, And our watch lights let us trim: Who the Master’s love remembers, Must arise and shine for Him. ’Tis no time to be half-hearted, Wavering, faltering, blown about. In His service have we started? No one, then, must be in doubt! [Refrain] 3 Let the flames be shooting upward; Add as fuel faith and love: And sweet hope which beckons onward: And the graces of a dove: Patience, gentleness, uprightness, Joy, and true humility— Shining forth in golden brightness: Shining daily, hourly. [Refrain] 4 Lord, on Thee, the Rock of Ages, Low we lay each willing heart; Help us while the conflict rages, And to each Thy strength impart. Let our earnest prayers ascending Reach the King enthroned on high: Then shall seven-fold gifts descending All our seven-fold needs supply. [Refrain] Used With Tune: HYDERABAD Text Sources: From India's Coral Strand: Hymns of the Christian Faith (London: "Home Words" Publishing Office, 1883)

Author: Miss Jennie Stout Hymnal: Living Hymns #8 (1890) First Line: Oh, I often sit and ponder Refrain First Line: Oh, the future lies before me Lyrics: 1 Oh, I often sit and ponder, When the sun is sinking low, Where shall yonder future find me; Does but God in heaven know? Shall I be among the living? Shall I mingle with the free? Wheresoe’er my path be leading, Saviour, keep my heart with thee. Chorus: Oh, the future lies before me, And I know not where I’ll be, But where’er my path be leading, Saviour, keep my heart with thee. [Chorus] 2 Shall I be at work for Jesus, Whilst he leads me by the hand, And to those around be saying, Come and join his happy band? Come, for all things now are ready, Come, his faithful foll'wer be; Oh, where’er my path be leading, Saviour, keep my heart with thee. [Chorus] 3 But perhaps my work for Jesus Soon in future may be done, All my earthly trials ended, And my crown in heaven won; Then forever with the ransomed Thro’ eternity I’d be Chanting hymns to him who bought me With his blood shed on the tree. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Oh, I often sit and ponder]
