《Promise True and Grand》歌词

[00:00:00] Promise True and Grand - Bukka White/Miss Minnie

[00:00:02] I have read of the promise true and grand

[00:00:06] A wonderful place this heavenly land

[00:00:08] Where all the redeemed shall dwell with Christ eternally

[00:00:14] Where never a trouble we shall rue

[00:00:17] No temple for God's place holds us all

[00:00:20] This promise was made for you and me how long will it be

[00:00:26] How long blessed lord oh will it be

[00:00:32] Until it shall be we reach that day

[00:00:37] How long till I feel that fond embracing

[00:00:40] There shall behold with falling face

[00:00:43] But updown that lover heavenly home beyond the sea

[00:00:49] How long must I toil here below

[00:00:54] How long must strive strive with the fold

[00:01:00] How long till we view that promised land

[00:01:02] And join a with the snow white angels band

[00:01:05] Lord a hear our plea how long will it be

[00:01:11] Said in that land there is no light

[00:01:14] Where Jesus the lamb will be the night

[00:01:16] The river of life before his golden throne will flow so free

[00:01:22] And in the blessed city we are told

[00:01:25] There the streets are paved with the purest gold

[00:01:28] Now promise is made for you and me how long will it be

[00:01:34] How long blessed lord oh will it be

[00:01:39] Until it'll be we reach that day

[00:01:45] How long till we view that promised land

[00:01:48] And join a with the snow white angels band

[00:01:50] Lord a hear our plea how long will it be

[00:01:56] There the tears from our eyes will fall no more

[00:01:59] And suffering too will all be over

[00:02:02] We shall rapture we shall praise that blessed lamb of Calvary

[00:02:07] We'll meet our deliverers on the strand

[00:02:10] We shall join them and clasp them by the hand

[00:02:13] This promise is made for you and me how long will it be

[00:02:19] How long blessed lord oh will it be

[00:02:24] Until until it'll be we reach that day

[00:02:30] How long till I feel that fond embracing

[00:02:33] And shall behold his smiling face a

[00:02:36] Up at that lover heavenly home beyond the sea

[00:02:41] How long must I toil oh here below

[00:02:46] How long blessed lord oh will it be

[00:02:52] How long till we view that promised land

[00:02:54] And join a with the snow white angels band

[00:02:57] Lord a hear our plea how long will it be
