Gabriel Blow

Brothers and sisters we are here tonight fight the devil.

Do you hear that playin'?

(Yes, we hear that playin'.)

Do you know who's playin'?

(No, who is that playin'?)

Why it's Gabriel, Gabriel playin'.

Gabriel, Gabriel sayin',

"Will you be ready to go when I blow my horn?"

So blow, Gabriel, blow,

Go on and blow, Gabriel, blow!

I've been a sinner, I've been a scamp,

But now I'm willing to trim my lamp,

So blow, Gabriel, blow!

I was low, Gabriel, low,

Mighty low, Gabriel, low.

But now since I have seen the light,

I'm good by day and I'm good by night,

So blow, Gabriel, blow.

Once I was headed for hell,

But when I got to Satan's door

I heard you blowin' on your horn once more,

So I said, "Satan, farewell!"

And now I'm all ready to fly,

Yes, to fly higher and higher!

"Cause I've gone through the brimstone and I've been through the fire,

And I've purged my soul and my heart too,

So climb up the mountain top and start to

Blow, Gabriel, blow.

Go on and blow, Gabriel, blow!

I want to join your happy band

And play all day in the Promised Land,

So blow, Gabriel, blow!
