1 Hold your lighted torch on high,
Ever keep it burning bright;
Souls in sin and darkness lie,
Waiting, waiting for its light.

Chorus:
Keep your light aglow for Jesus.
Let it shine, brightly shine;
Keep your light aglow for Jesus,
Let it ever brightly shine.

2 Hold your lighted torch on high,
Tho' so tiny be its ray;
It may hush some saddened cry,
It may turn some night to day. [Chorus]

3 Hold your lighted torch on high,
Let it gleam o’er ocean tide;
Some poor soul may sink and die,
Waiting for its light to guide. [Chorus]

4 Hold your lighted torch on high,
’Twas to you in mercy giv’n
If to save the lost you try
You may guide some soul to heav’n. [Chorus]
Children's Praise and Worship #d57 (1928)
