Lyrics
Little children sittin’ on the tree of life
When they heard ol’ Jordan roll
Roll, Jordan, roll, Jordan, roll, Jordan, roll
Oh march the angel march
March the angel march
O my soul arise in heaven, Lord
For to hear when Jordan roll
Little children learn to fear the Lord
And let your days be long
Roll, Jordan, roll, Jordan, roll, Jordan, roll
Oh march the angel march
March the angel march
O my soul arise in heaven, Lord
For to hear when Jordan roll
And let no false nor spiteful word
Be heard upon your tongue
Roll, Jordan, roll, Jordan, roll, Jordan, roll
Oh march the angel march
March the angel march
For my soul arise in heaven, Lord
For to hear when Jordan roll
