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.

Lyrics: Verses 1,4 - Slave Songs of the United States , collected by Willaim Francis Allen etc., 1867
