1.Let every lamp be burning bright,The darkest hour is nearing;The darkest hour of earth’s long night,Before the Lord’s appearing.Refrain:Then trim your lamps, my brethren dear,Then trim your lamps with godly fear;The Master’s coming draweth near,Let every lamp be burning.2.Though thousands calmly slumber on,The last great message spuring,Wel’ll rest our living faith uponHis promise of returning.Refrain:Then trim your lamps, my brethren dear,Then trim your lamps with godly fear;The Master’s coming draweth near,Let every lamp be burning.3.His word our lamp, His truth our guide,We cannot be mistaken;Though dangers rise on every side,We shall not be forsaken.Refrain:Then trim your lamps, my brethren dear,Then trim your lamps with godly fear;The Master’s coming draweth near,Let every lamp be burning.4.Then let good works with faith appear,To help the world atound us;Obedience bring the blessing nearWhen faith has firmly bound us.Refrain:Then trim your lamps, my brethren dear,Then trim your lamps with godly fear;The Master’s coming draweth near,Let every lamp be burning.
