Text:Hold Up the Light
Author:Mrs. Frank A. Breck
Tune:[Is there a ray of God's brightness]
Composer:I. H. Meredith

102. Hold Up the Light

1 Is there a ray of God's brightness
That you to some soul may impart?
Is there a bit of heart-lightness
That you may bestow on some heart.

Chorus:
Hold up the light, Hold up the light
Till darkness is melted away,
The light that increased forever,
Till cometh God's beautiful day.

2 Will you help some one in blindness
To light that he never has had?
Hold up the light of God's kindness
And let it make somebody glad. [Chorus]

3 Hold up the light of God's comfort,
The light that his love hath bestowed;
Hold it aloft for the pilgrims
Who travel a sorrowful road. [Chorus]

4 Hold up the light of salvation,
The glory that never shall cease;
Hold up the light of God's mercy,
The light of his pardon and peace. [Chorus]
