1 Keep your lamps trimmed and burning,
keep your lamps trimmed and burning,
keep your lamps trimmed and burning,
the day is drawing nigh.
Refrain:
Children, don't get weary,
children, don't get weary,
children, don't get weary
till your work is done.
2 Darker midnight lies before us,
darker midnight lies before us,
darker midnight lies before us,
the day is drawing nigh. [Refrain]
3 For the morning soon is breaking,
for the morning soon is breaking,
for the morning soon is breaking,
the day is drawing nigh. [Refrain]
4 Christian journey soon be over,
Christian journey soon be over,
Christian journey soon be over,
the day is drawing nigh. [Refrain]
