Lyrics:

Wake up Jacob, day is a breaking
Wake up Jacob, day is a breaking
I said wake up Jacob day is a breaking
I wanna go to heaven when I die and I'm on my way
Yes I wanna go to heaven when I die and I'm on my way

I got some friends on the other shore
(chorus: Do love the Lord)
And I wanna see 'em more and more
Now when I get to heaven gonna live at ease
Cause me and God gonna do as we please

Oh wake up Jacob day is a breaking and I'm on my way
I said wake up Jacob day is a breaking and I'm on my way

Oh this is the year of the Jubilee
(Chorus: Do love the Lord)
Oh the Lord had set his people free
Oh wake up Jacob day is a breaking and I'm on my way
I said wake up Jacob day is a breaking and I'm on my way
