| 1. Let your lamps
be trimmed and burning,
Lest your feet may go astray!
If you are the Lord痴 disciple,
Unto sinners show the way!
Refrain.
We値l go out with joy to meet Him,
We値l 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!
2. 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.
We値l go out with joy to meet Him,
We値l 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!
3. Let your lamps
be trimmed and burning,
Burning for eternity!
Ready for the Lord痴 appearing,
Whensoever it may be!
Refrain.
We値l go out with joy to meet Him,
We値l 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!
4. Let your lamps
be trimmed and burning,
For the midnight draweth near!
When the Bridegroom quickly cometh,
And we all His voice shall hear!
Refrain.
We値l go out with joy to meet Him,
We値l 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!
