"Build thy castle on a mount and
Let its architecture be shown to all
Light your candle place it on a stick
For light is to be illuminated and
Not to be suppressed under a bushel"
All this was His command from above
Celestial, mundane or what it be
Is true and true everywhere
We light this candle oh! Lord
In thy name and faith to behold
Wind! we see mightier outside
Yet we light it, oh! Lord, in thy name
Night, storm, shower so severe
Feeble is our flame to resist and glow
Yet we feareth not a little, Oh! Lord
For we see the wings of thy angel around
Coal makes not its presence in night
Coke never shows its presence in darkness
But a glowworm light is more enough
To make its way in heavy night
We light this lantern of service
And place it amidst kindling stuffs
Kindle, Oh! Lord, kindle every dormant stuff
For thy light is needed everywhere!
