verse 1 He's standin' behind the pulpit he's callin' out the lines His hummin' congregation just a little ways behind Echos down the streets of gold and through the pearly gates Ripples o'er the Jordan and goes on past the banks verse 2 He's rattlin' a Werther's on his dentures in the pews He's holdin' down the base it's a little out of tune But his heart is in the hymnal and that's all the boy can do He'll make a joyful sound until the last have come to roost Hallelujah-- Jubilee I can hear the angel band I was blind but now I see And I'll jump right in amongst them when I reach that glory land verse 3 She's shoutin' in the aisle she's shakin' somethin' fierce It feels so good to be home after all these faithful years She's took a walk with Jesus she's touched his nail scarred hands Didn't even bother her that he's a darker man Hallelujah-- Jubilee I can hear the angel band I was blind but now I see And I'll jump right in amongst them when I reach that glory land Instumental verse 4 There's Methodists and Catholics Baptists of all kinds Mennonites and Amish boys that left their plows behind They're up there in the choir and they're singin' side by side Wonderin' why exactly they was fussin' the whole time Hallelujah-- Jubilee I can hear the angel band I was blind but now I see And I'll jump right in amongst them when I reach that glory land And I'll jump right in amongst them when I reach that glory land
