Verse 1

When my lamp burns low;

And faith is dim;

When the once steady glow

Is uncertain;

I know I must attend

My failing store;

To trim my lamp and fill its lack

I come before the Lord.

 

Chorus

Fill my lamp I pray with thy precious oil;

hen shadows dismay, Lord, light up my soul;

Through the night may I abide

A vessel of thy light.

 

Fill my lamp each day, and with delight

I will walk in Thy path with Thy perfect light.

Oh Lord, fill my lamp today. I pray.

Verse 2

Now my lamp is full;

Its flame is pure;

Not a flicker of doubt can endure.

Yet as I hurry through this dark’ning world,

How quickly burns my reservoir!

And I return to the Lord.

 

Repeat Chorus

 

Bridge

In Gethsemane

Where the olives grow,

With the weight of our sins

A heavy stone,

Crushed and broken, Jesus tread

That awful press alone,

That my vessel might be full and whole,

Ever brimming with oil.

 

Repeat Chorus
