《The Promise True and Grand》歌词

[00:00:00] Promise True and Grand - Bukka White

[00:00:01] I have read of the promise true and grand

[00:00:04] A wonderful place this heavenly land

[00:00:07] Where all the redeemed shall dwell with Christ eternally

[00:00:13] Where never a trouble we shall rue

[00:00:16] No temple for God's place holds us all

[00:00:19] This promise was made for you and me how long will it be

[00:00:25] How long blessed lord oh will it be

[00:00:30] Until it shall be we reach that day

[00:00:36] How long till I feel that fond embracing

[00:00:39] There shall behold with falling face

[00:00:41] But updown that lover heavenly home beyond the sea

[00:00:47] How long must I toil here below

[00:00:53] How long must strive strive with the fold

[00:00:58] How long till we view that promised land

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

[00:01:04] Lord a hear our plea how long will it be

[00:01:10] Said in that land there is no light

[00:01:12] Where Jesus the lamb will be the night

[00:01:15] The river of life before his golden throne will flow so free

[00:01:21] And in the blessed city we are told

[00:01:23] There the streets are paved with the purest gold

[00:01:26] Now promise is made for you and me how long will it be

[00:01:33] How long blessed lord oh will it be

[00:01:38] Until it'll be we reach that day

[00:01:44] How long till we view that promised land

[00:01:47] And join a with the snow white angels band

[00:01:49] Lord a hear our plea how long will it be

[00:01:55] There the tears from our eyes will fall no more

[00:01:58] And suffering too will all be over

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

[00:02:06] We'll meet our deliverers on the strand

[00:02:09] We shall join them and clasp them by the hand

[00:02:12] This promise is made for you and me how long will it be

[00:02:18] How long blessed lord oh will it be

[00:02:22] Until until it'll be we reach that day

[00:02:29] How long till I feel that fond embracing

[00:02:32] And shall behold his smiling face a

[00:02:34] Up at that lover heavenly home beyond the sea

[00:02:39] How long must I toil oh here below

[00:02:45] How long blessed lord oh will it be

[00:02:50] How long till we view that promised land

[00:02:53] And join a with the snow white angels band

[00:02:56] Lord a hear our plea how long will it be
