Lyrics
(African American Spiritual)
1. The tallest tree in paradise, the Christian calls the tree of life.
And I hope that trump’ might blow me home to the new Jerusalem.
Refrain
Blow your trumpet, Gabriel!
Blow louder, louder,
And I hope that trump’ might blow me home to the new Jerusalem.
2. Paul and Silas bound in jail
Sing God’s praise both night and day;
And I hope that trump’ might blow me home to the new Jerusalem. Refrain
