Classic Poem

John sawr-O, John sawr-O…
John saw de holy number settin' on de golden altar!

It's a little while longer yere below, yere below, yere below,
It's a little while longer yere below, Before de Lamb of God!

And home to Jesus we will go, we will go, etc.;
We are de people of de Lord.
John sawr-O, etc.

Dere's a golden slipper in de heavens for you, etc.,
Before de Lamb of God.

I wish I'd been dere when prayer begun, etc.

To see my Jesus about my sins, etc.

Then home to glory we will go, etc.
