Let your lamps be trimmed and burn­ing,
Lest your feet may go as­tray!
If you are the Lord’s dis­ci­ple,
Unto sin­ners show the way!

Refrain

We’ll go out with joy to meet Him,
We’ll go out with joy to meet Him,
At the mid­night hour;
If our lamps are trimmed and burn­ing,
When He com­eth, when He com­eth,
At the mid­night hour!

Let your lamps be trimmed and burn­ing,
Let there be of oil no lack!
Be not like the fool­ish vir­gins,
From the en­trance driv­en back!

Refrain

Let your lamps be trimmed and burn­ing,
Burning for eter­ni­ty!
Ready for the Lord’s ap­pear­ing,
Whensoever it may be!

Refrain

Let your lamps be trimmed and burn­ing,
For the mid­night draw­eth near!
When the Bride­groom quick­ly com­eth,
And we all His voice shall hear!
