The Northern Lyrics
He comes, he comes
Judge so severe
Seven trumpets speak
Oh, they speak him near
He comes, he comes
Judge so severe
Seven trumpets speak
Oh, they speak him near
He comes, he comes
Judge so severe
Seven trumpets speak
Speak the sound of fear
He comes, he comes
Judge so severe
Seven trumpets speak
Speak the sound of fear
(Oh mother, you oughta be there)
I want to go to heaven
(I'm gonna go to heaven when I die)
Roll Jordan, roll Jordan
Roll Jordan
(Oh father, you oughta be there)
I want to go to heaven
(I'm gonna go to heaven when I die)
Roll Jordan, roll Jordan
Roll Jordan
He comes, he comes
Judge so severe
Seven trumpets speak
Oh, they speak him near
Hallelujah
We'll praise the lord
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
He comes, he comes
Judge so severe
You know seven trumpets
Oh, they speak him near
Hallelujah
(We'll praise the lord)
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
(We'll praise the lord)
Hallelujah
(Oh mother, you oughta be there)
I want to go to heaven
(I'm gonna go to heaven when I die)
Roll Jordan, roll Jordan
Roll Jordan
(Oh father, you oughta be there)
I want to go to heaven
(I'm gonna go to heaven when I die)
Roll Jordan, roll Jordan
Roll Jordan
(Oh sister, you oughta be there)
I want to go to heaven
(I'm gonna go to heaven when I die)
Roll Jordan, roll Jordan
Roll Jordan
(Oh brother, my sweet brother)
I want to go to heaven
(I'm gonna go to heaven when I die)
