Keep your lamps trimmed and burning,
Keep your lamps trimmed and burning,
Keep your lamps trimmed and burning,
The time is drawing nigh.
God says don’t get weary, children don’t get weary,
Children don’t get weary, till the work is done.
Christian journey, soon be over,
All our trials, soon be over,
Christian journey, soon be over,
The time is drawing nigh.
God says don’t get weary, children don’t get weary,
Children don’t get weary, till the work is done.
Darker midnight lies before us,
Tribulation all around us,
Darker midnight lies before us,
The time is drawing nigh.
God says don’t get worried, He will guard His children,
God will lead us homeward, till the work is done.
Children watching, they are ready,
All God’s children, they are ready,
Children watching, they are ready,
The Bridegroom cometh nigh.
Yes, and in the Judgment, God will draw His children,
Calls us home to heaven, when the work is done.
Lo, the morning soon is breaking,
God will take us home to heaven,
Lo, the morning soon is breaking,
The time is drawing nigh.
Yes, and in the Judgment, God will draw His children,
Calls us home to heaven, when the work is done.
Keep your lamps trimmed and burning,
Keep your lamps trimmed and burning,
Keep your lamps trimmed and burning,
The time is drawing nigh.
