Keep Your Lamps Trimmed And Burning

Well, mother don't you stop prayin'

Father keep right on prayin'

Don't you stop prayin'

For this old world is almost done

I got to keep your lamps trimmed and burning

Keep your lamps

Keep your lamps trimmed and burning

For this old world is almost done

Sister don't you stop prayin'

Brother keep right on prayin'

Don't you stop prayin'

For this old world is almost done

Keep your lamps trimmed and burning

Keep your lamps

Keep your lamps trimmed and burning

For this old world is almost done

Keep our lamps trimmed and burning

Keep our lamps

Keep our lamps trimmed and burning

For this old world is almost done

We'll keep our lamps trimmed and burning

Keep our lamps

I say, "Keep our lamps trimmed and burning

For our race is almost run"
