- REFRAIN:
- Oh, the winter, (winter),
- the winter, (winter),
- the winter'll soon be over, children;
- the winter, (winter),
- the winter, (winter),
- the winter'll soon be over, children;
- the winter, (winter),
- the winter, (winter),
- the winter'll soon be over, children;
- Yes, my Lord:
- 1.
- 'Tis Paul and Silas bound in chains,
- And one did weep, and the other one did pray.
- For you see me going along so,
- I has my trials here below.
- 2.
- Oh, look up yonder, what I see,
- Bright angels comin' after me.
- I bend my knees on holy ground,
- And ask the Lord for turn me around.
- 3.
- I turn my eyes towards the sky,
- And ask the Lord for wings to fly;
- If you get there before I do,
- Look out for me, I'm comin' too.
- 4.
- Oh Jordan's river's deep and wide,
- But Jesus stands on the heavenly side;
- And when we get on Canaan's shore,
- We'll shout, and sing forever more.
