 '''No. 71. Keep your Lamps trimmed.'''

Keep your lamps trimmed and a-burning, Keep your lamps trimmed and a-burning, Keep your lamps trimm'd and a-burning, For this work's almost done. [Fine.]

Brothers, don't grow weary, Brothers, don't grow weary, Brothers, don't grow weary, For this work's almost done.

(2nd time: Preachers, &c.)

Keep your lamps trimmed and a-burning, Keep your lamps trimmed and a-burning, Keep your lamps trimm'd and a-burning, For this work's almost done.

'Tis religion makes us happy, 'Tis religion makes us happy, 'Tis religion, makes us happy, For this work's almost done.

(2nd time: We are climbing Jacob's ladder, &c.)

(3rd time: Every round goes higher and higher, &c.)

Keep your lamps trimmed and a-burning, Keep your lamps trimmed and a-burning, Keep your lamps trimm'd and a-burning, For this work's almost done.

Brothers, don't grow weary, Brothers, don't grow weary, Brothers, don't grow weary, For this work's almost done. Keep your lamps, &c.

'Tis religion makes us happy, 'Tis religion makes us happy, 'Tis religion, makes us happy, For this work's almost done. Keep your lamps, &c.

Preachers, don't grow weary, &c. Keep your lamps, &c.

We are climbing Jacob's ladder, &c. Keep your lamps, &c.

Every round goes higher and higher, &c. Keep your lamps, &c.
