CHORUS I
YES KEEP OIL KEEP OIL
IN YOUR LAMP IN YOUR LAMP

WHO KNOWS WHO KNOWS WHEN THE BRIDE GROOM COMETH

KEEP OIL KEEP OIL IN YOUR LAMP

NO MATTER NO MATTER WHAT THE PRICE YOU GOT O SACRIFICE

JUST AS SURE JUST AS SURE

FOR HE'S COMING FOR HE'S COMING
ONLY THE FATHER KNOWS ONLY THE FATHER KNOWS THE DAY


KEEP OIL KEEP OIL IN YOUR LAMP
FOR CHRIST IS FOR CHRIST IS ON HIS WAY


VERESE I
AT THE SUSPECTED HOUR, WE'RE GOING TO HEAR A SHOUT
BEHOLD THE BRIDE GROOM COMETH

TRIM YOUR LAMP AND GATHER ABOUT
GOING UP TO MEET HIM
THE WEDDING IS ABOUT TO BEGIN

IF YOUR LAMP, GOES OUT
YOU WANT BE ALOUD TO GO IN


CHORUS I

VERESE II

MOTHERS AND DAUGTHERS
FATHERS AND SONS
SISTERS AND BROTHERS

ENEMY AND FRIEND
YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT ONCE HE COME
THERE WILL BE NO OIL TO BORROW OR LEND

SEEK YE THE LORD WHILE HE MAY BE FOUND
ONCE THE WEDDING BEGIN
IF THE DOOR TO THE CHURCH WILL BE CLOSE

NEVER TO OPEN AGAIN

CHORUS II

YES KEEP YOUR LAMP KEEP YOUR LAMP TRIM BURING BRIGHT
WALKING WALKIN IN THE LIGHT
HOLD ON HOLD ON GOD UNCHANGING HANDS

WITH CHRIST WITH CHRIST MAKE A STAND
KEEP YOUR LAMP KEEP YOUR LAMP TRIM BURING BRIGHT
WALKING WALKIN IN THE LIGHT

HOLD ON HOLD ON GOD UNCHANGING HANDS
WITH CHRIST WITH CHRIST MAKE A STAND
