1 Now trim your lamp for Jesus,
Let not your light be dim;
Full well He knows each action
That you may do for Him.
Refrain:
Then trim your lamp for Jesus,
And to your faith be true;
The world will judge of Jesus
By what they see in you.
2 Now trim your lamp for Jesus,
Nor let it hidden be;
Be not ashamed of Jesus,
He’s not ashamed of thee. [Refrain]
3 Now trim your lamp for Jesus;
’Tis He who bids you shine;
And His shall be the glory,
A crown of life be thine. [Refrain]
4 Then trim your lamp for Jesus,
Nor deem it e’er a cross
To bravely shine for Jesus
’Mid earthly sin and loss. [Refrain]
