He comes! He comes! the Judge severe,
Roll, Jordan, roll;
The seventh trumpet speaks Him near,
Roll, Jordan, roll;
Chorus:
I want to go to heav’n, I do,
Hallelujah, Lord,
We’ll praise the Lord in heav’n above,
Roll, Jordan, roll.
His lightnings flash, His thunders roll,
Roll, Jordan, roll.
How welcome to the faithful soul!
Roll, Jordan, roll.
(Chorus)
Roll, Jordan, roll;
The seventh trumpet speaks Him near,
Roll, Jordan, roll;
Chorus:
I want to go to heav’n, I do,
Hallelujah, Lord,
We’ll praise the Lord in heav’n above,
Roll, Jordan, roll.
His lightnings flash, His thunders roll,
Roll, Jordan, roll.
How welcome to the faithful soul!
Roll, Jordan, roll.
(Chorus)
