Keep the fire burning br That's been kindled in you soul br For the fire burns the dross away br And brings forth precious gold br br Shine the light the fire brings br To the darkness in the land br For the Light is the Light of the world br And the darkness flees at His command br br Keep the fire of praise ablaze br To combat life's malaise br For the Lord's fire is in Zion br An Inhabiter of our praise br br Take your lamp where the fire burns br Bring oil most precious and true br For the oil causes the lamp to burn br All the dark night through br br Seek the Giver of unchanging fire br From Whom all blessings flow br For you know not what the day may hold br And tomorrow is not your own.
