I've been trying to remember the words to this old gospel lament which was on an LP I listened to alot in the early 1970's. What LP I can't remember - maybe Maria Muldaur when she still recorded with Geoff?

Does anybody know this song??

The refrain goes something like:

"When the fire comes down from heaven And the blood shall fill the sea I'll be waiting there for Jesus And forever with him be"

Dreadfully apocalyptic - but the tune that goes with it is hauntingly beautiful. If anyone can help with lyrics for verses I would be most greatful.
