[Intro - the speaker among lamps] Seven stars in his hand. Seven lamps around his steps. Four doors receive a searching word. [Verse 1 - Ephesus remembers] Ephesus labors, waits, tests every claimant, bears for the name and does not faint. Yet love's first fire no longer leads the work. Remember the height. Turn. Begin again, or the candlestick moves from its place. To the overcomer: fruit from the tree of life. [Refrain - first summons] Hear what the Spirit saith. Let the warning enter the ear. Return,and overcome. [Verse 2 - Smyrna counts no loss] The First and Last, once dead and now alive, sees a poor room and names it rich. Slander and prison do not escape his sight. Ten days of tribulation may come; be faithful unto death. The crown of life waits beyond the fear, and second death cannot wound the overcomer. [Post-Chorus - one held line] Hear what the Spirit saith: be faithful. [Verse 3 - Pergamos divides the blade] Where Satan's seat stands, Pergamos held the name. Even when Antipas was slain, faith was not denied. Still Balaam's stumbling block remained, with Nicolaitane teaching beside it. Repent,the mouth's twoedged sword will answer. To the overcomer: hidden manna, a white stone, a new name known only to its receiver. [Bridge - second summons] Hear what the Spirit saith. Let truth cut through the compromise. Repent,and overcome. [Verse 4 - Thyatira under the eyes] Eyes of fire see charity and service, faith, patience, latter works greater than the first. They also see Jezebel tolerated, teaching servants to fornicate and eat idol offerings. Time to repent was given; she refused. Unless they repent, her company meets tribulation; her children meet death. Every church shall know the searcher of reins and hearts, who gives to each according to works. [Breakdown - hold fast] No other burden on those outside that doctrine. Hold what ye have till he comes. Keep his works unto the end. [Refrain - promises open] Hear what the Spirit saith. Tree of life. Crown of life. Hidden manna. White stone. New name. Power over nations from the Father, the rod of iron, the morning star. Hold fast,and overcome. [Outro - ear left open] He that hath an ear, hear.
