Gold Tried in the Fire ‎#221

221. Keep Your Lamps Burning

1 I’ve never been to heaven, but I’ve been told
O, ye people of the Lord;
The heavenly streets are solid gold,
O, ye people of the Lord.

Chorus:
Keep your lamps trimmed and burning
Keep your lamps trimmed and burning
Keep your lamps trimmed and burning
Oh, ye people of the Lord

2 This is the way I long have sought
O, ye people of the Lord;
And mourned because I found it out
O, ye people of the Lord. [Chorus]

3 Heaven is a high and holy place
O, ye people of the Lord;
And if you get there you must have grace,
O, ye people of the Lord. [Chorus]
