1 We’ll see our elders’ glory;
But the angels seem to tarry,
And the saints of God rejoicing
In the kingdom of our Lord.

Chorus:
Our lamps are burning, our lamps are burning,
Our lamps are burning, our lamps are filled with oil.

2 We’ll see our leaders’ glory;
But the angels seem to tarry,
And the saints of God rejoicing
In the kingdom of our Lord. [Chorus]

3 We’ll see the Church's glory;
But the angels seem to tarry,
And the saints of God rejoicing
In the kingdom of our Lord. [Chorus]
