For this old world is almost doneSister don't you stop prayin'

Brother keep right on prayin'

For this old world is almost doneKeep our lamps trimmed and burning

For this old world is almost doneWe'll keep our lamps trimmed and burning

I say, "Keep our lamps trimmed and burning

For our race is almost run"
