Blow, Gabriel, Blow

(Verse)
Do you hear that playin'?
(Yes, we hear that playin'!)
Do you know who's playin'?
(No, who is that playin'?)
Well, it's Gabriel, Gabriel playin'!
Gabriel, Gabriel sayin'
"Will you be ready to go
When I blow my horn?"

(Chorus)
Oh, blow, Gabriel, blow
Go on and blow, Gabriel, blow!
I've been a sinner, I've been a scamp
But now I'm willin' to trim my lamp
So blow, Gabriel, blow!

Oh, I was low, Gabriel, low
Mighty low, Gabriel, low
But now since I have seen the light
I'm good by day and I'm good by night
So blow, Gabriel, blow!

Once I was headed for hell
Once I was headed for hell;
But when I got to Satan's door
I heard you blowin' on your horn once more
So I said, "Satan, farewell!"

And now you're all ready to fly
Yes, to fly higher and higher!
'Cause you've gone through brimstone
And you've been through the fire
And you purged your soul
And your heart too
So climb up the mountaintop

And start to blow, Gabriel, blow
Come on and blow, Gabriel, blow!
I want to join your happy band
And play all day in the Promised Land
So blow, Gabriel, blow!

Blow, Gabriel, blow!
Blow, Gabriel, blow!
Blow, Gabriel, blow!
Blow, Gabriel, blow!

I wanna join your happy band
And play all day in the Promised Land
So blow, Gabriel, blow
Blow, Gabriel, blow!
Blow, Gabriel, blow!
Blow, Gabriel, blow!
Blow, Gabriel, blow!
