I went down to Jordan, Singing, "Hallelujia!", I went down to Jordan In the nighttime; God of mine above me, God of mine beneath me, And the white robed angels Singing, "Hallelujia!" I looked up to Heaven, Singing, "Hallelujia", I looked up to Heaven In the nighttime; God poured down His mercy, Christ poured down His loving, And the choir of angels Sang me, "Hallelujia!" Threescore stood in Heaven, Singing, "Hallelujia", Threescore stood in Heaven In the nighttime; David with his captains, Jesus with His fishers, And the white robed angels Singing, "Hallelujia!" Take me swift to Heaven, Singing, "Hallelujia!" Take me swift to Heaven In the nighttime; Seat me 'mid the lillies, Crown me with the roses, And let whiterobed angels Sing me, "Hallelujia." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PORTRAIT OF A BOY by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET THE WHITE PEACOCK by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET O DREAMS, O DESTINATIONS by CECIL DAY LEWIS FLOWER GUIDANCE by ROBERT FROST FOR WALT WHITMAN by DAVID IGNATOW BROTHERHOOD by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON |
