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)
