Keep Your Lamps Trimmed by The Hillbilly Thomists Lyrics

[Chorus]
Keep those lamps trimmed, now
Keep those lamps trimmed
Midnight's comin' in
Won't you keep those lamps trimmed?

[Verse 1]
You do not know the day
And you do not know the hour
Keep watch, stay awake
You do not know the day

[Pre-Chorus 1]
My soul waits for more than sentinels
The Lord, for He comes with mercy

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Got no time to waste, now
Got no time to waste
Bridegroom's coming soon
Ain't got no time to waste
[Pre-Chorus 2]
From the depths I cry
Lord, for He comes with mercy

[Chorus (x4)]
