There ain't no grave to hold my body down There ain't no grave to hold my body down When I hear that trumpet sound I'm on a rise out of the ground There ain't no grave to hold my body down Oh look down yonder Gabriel! Put your feet on the land and sea! Oh go down yonder river What do you think I see? There ain't no grave to hold my body down There ain't no grave to hold my body down When I hear that trumpet sound I'm on a rise out of the ground There ain't no grave Ain't no grave to hold my body down Oh meet me Jesus meet me! Meet me in the air! I'm going down to the river of Jordan And bury my knees in the sand There ain't no grave to hold my body down There ain't no grave to hold my body down When I hear that trumpet sound I'm on a rise out of the ground There ain't no grave Ain't no grave to hold my body down Oh look down yonder river! What do you think I see? There ain't no grave to hold my body down There ain't no grave to hold my body down When I hear that trumpet sound I'm on a rise out of the ground There ain't no grave Ain't no grave to hold my body down There ain't no grave Ain't no grave to hold my body down
