Keep Your Lamps Trimmed and Burning [Lyric Video]

Details

Description

This lyric video features the traditional gospel song "Keep Your Lamps Trimmed and Burning." The song's title and refrain refer to the parable of the wise and foolish virgins from the Gospel of Matthew. In the parable, 10 virgins await the arrival of the bridegroom before a wedding feast. Five of the virgins come prepared for the wait with extra oil for their lamps, and five foolishly do not. The wise virgins enter the feast while the foolish ones are delayed attempting to purchase more oil and are locked out by the bridegroom. The song encourages us to be like the five wise virgins, prepared and vigilantly waiting for Christ's return.

Darker midnight lies before us
Darker midnight lies before us
Darker midnight lies before us
For the time is drawing nigh

Sisters don’t grow weary

Sisters don’t grow weary
For the time is drawing nigh

Lo, the mornin' soon is breaking
Lo, the mornin' soon is breaking
Lo, the mornin' soon is breaking
For the time is drawing nigh
