Keep your lamp, tremblin' a burnin'
Keep your lamp, tremblin' a burnin'
Keep your lamp, tremblin' a burnin'
Because the work is more
Oh, don't get weary
Don't you get weary
Don't you get weary
Because the work is more
Preacher, don't, don't you stop preaching
Preacher, don't stop preaching
Preacher, don't stop preaching
Because the work is more
Keep your lamp, tremblin' a burnin'
Keep your lamp, tremblin' a burnin'
Keep your lamp, tremblin' a burnin'
Because the work is more
Now, sister, don't you stop shouting
Sister, don't you stop shouting
Sister, don't stop shouting
Because the work is more
Oh, sinners, don't you get weary
Oh, don't you get weary
Sinner, don't get weary
Because the work is more
Now, if you pray, don't you stop praying
If you pray, don't stop praying
If you don't stop praying
Because the work is more
Keep your lamp, tremblin' a burnin'
Keep your lamp, tremblin'
Keep your lamp, tremblin' burnin'
Because the work is more
Oh, sister, don't you stop moaning
Oh, my sister, don't you stop moaning
Oh, my sister, don't stop moaning
Because the work is more
Oh, keep your lamp, tremblin' a burnin'
Keep your lamp, tremblin'
Keep your lamp, tremblin' a burnin'
Because the work is more
