CHRISTIANS HOLD OUT YOUR LIGHT- W.E. Winsett 1908
We read scribes and pharisees
who sit at Moses feet
who are partial in the word of God
But their works are not complete.
CHORUS: Christians hold out your light
Christians hold out your light
Christians hold out your light
Hold out the light of God
Hold Out Your Light of God- collected from Ebbert Wedding of the Concord community. Kentucky Folklore Record, Volumes 21-22 - Page 16 Kentucky Folklore Society 1975
Chorus: Hold out your light,
Christians, hold out your light.
Hold out your light of God.
Second Verse: (Dan) (Tate) prays a pretty prayer before he goes to bed
Because he stole (Bob) (Potter's) pretty buggy spread.
I'm going to live with God!
Heaven-Bound Soldier- Best-loved Negro Spirituals: By Nicole Beaulieu Herder, Ronald Herder
Hold out your light, You heaven-bound soldier,
Hold out your light, You heaven-bound soldier,
Hold out your light, You heaven-bound soldier,
Let your light shine round ther world
