To Keep The Lamp Alive

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11919 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 To keep the lamp alive With oil we fill the bowl; ’Tis water makes the willow thrive, And grace that feeds the soul. 2 The Lord’s unsparing hand Supplies the living stream; It is not at our own command, But still derived from Him. 3 Beware of Peter’s word Nor confidently say, "I never will deny Thee, Lord," But"Grant I never may." 4 Man’s wisdom is to seek His strength in God alone; And e’en an angel would be weak, Who trusted in his own. 5 Retreat beneath His wings, And in His grace confide; This more exalts the King of kings Than all your works beside. 6 In Jesus is our store, Grace issues from His throne; Whoever says, "I want no more," Confesses he has none.
