"Hold the Light up Higher"

Author: Rev. Wm. Hunter, D. D. Hymnal: Joy to the World #58 (1879) First Line: Many souls on life's dark ocean Refrain First Line: Hold the light up higher, higher! Lyrics: 1 Many souls on life's dark ocean, Void of helm or oar, Battling with the waves' commotion, Seek a quiet shore. Christian brother, thine the labor, By the light of love, To assist thy erring neighbor To the port above. Chorus: Hold the light up higher, higher! Hold the light up higher, higher! Throw its flashes nigher, nigher! You a soul may save. 2 Like the lighthouse watcher, keeping Every beacon bright, Waking while the world is sleeping, Wrapt in thickest night. There is many an ocean ranger Out upon the shoals Friends and comrades are in danger, Save their precious souls. [Chorus] 3 Hold the light for one another, 'Tis the Lord's command; Seize the shipwrecked, drowning brother, With a manly hand; Rouse him up to life and action, Ply the means to save, And by love's divine attraction, Lift him from the wave. [Chorus] 4 Hold the light up higher, higher, Thousands need your aid; Throw its flashes nigher, nigher, Urge, constrain, persuade: Borrow torches from the altar, Blazing like the sun, Hold them up, nor flag nor falter, Till the work is done. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Many souls on life's dark ocean]

The Rescue

Author: G. W. S. Hymnal: The Golden Sheaf #64 (1902) First Line: Many souls on life's dark ocean Refrain First Line: Haste! to the rescue Lyrics: 1 Many souls on life's dark ocean, Without helm, or sail, or oar, Struggling with the waves' commotion, Seek a quiet rest on shore. Christian brother, join to labor, By the light of love divine; Help to save thy drowning neighbor; Trim thy lamp and let it shine. Chorus: Haste! to the rescue, Fear not wind or wave; God's grace will aid you Sinking ones to save. 2 See the lighthouse watcher, keeping Every beacon shining bright; Waking while the world is sleeping; Wrapt in thickest shades of night. There is many an ocean ranger Toss'd upon the dreadful shoals; Friends and comrades are in danger, Haste to save their precious souls. [Chorus] 3 Hold the light for one another; 'Tis thy loving Lord's command; Seize the shipwreck'd, drowning brother With a manly, loving hand. Rouse him up to life and action; Quick apply the means to save; And by love's divine attraction, Lift him, lift him from the wave. [Chorus] 4 Lift the light up higher, higher! Thousands, thousands need your aid; Throw its flashes nigher, nigher; Plead and urge, constrain, persuade, Borrow torches from the altar, Blazing like the noonday sun; Hold them up, nor flag, nor falter, Till thou hear the words, "Well done." [Chorus] Tune Title: [Many souls on life's dark ocean]
