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.
