Does anyone have the lyrics to Gabriel's Call?


I can't quite understand the first verse after "Sinners on that day his wrath will see"

Everything else I have:

Can you hear Gabriel's call
Will you weep will you moan will the Angels take you home
Can you hear Gabriel's call?

Sinners on that day his wrath will see
Be there no work ????? orphan an the vine?
Can you hear the sound of Gabriel's call

All jeruselum will weep on that day
They will shout and they will pray but the tears will wash away
Can you hear the sound of Gabriel's call.


All you drunkards you better learn to pray
On your knees bow down trade your bottle for your crown
Can you hear the sound of Gabriel's call.

Hi Jenna,

I can help with the first part of the line:

"There'll be no word, there'll be no sign ...

Like you, I hear 'and the vine' for the final words. The few words before that are undecipherable to me.

Here's a thought, Jenna

Hazel wrote the verses, but Alice Gerrard recorded it with her. Alice has a website with and email link. You could email and ask her.

I think I figured out what they say in that verse. Here's what I have for the full song lyric:

Can you hear the sound of Gabriel's call (Can you hear Gabriel’s Call)
Can you hear the sound of Gabriel's call (Can you hear Gabriel’s Call)
Will you weep, will you moan
When the angel takes you home
Can you hear the sound of Gabriel's call (Can you hear Gabriel’s Call)

Sinners on that day his wrath will see
Sinners on that day his wrath will see
There’ll be no word, there’ll be no sign
He’ll claim the orphans and the blind
Can you hear the sound of Gabriel's call (Can you hear Gabriel’s Call)

All Jerusalem will weep on that day
All Jerusalem will weep on that day
They will shout and they will pray
But the tears will wash away
Can you hear the sound of Gabriel's call (Can you hear Gabriel’s Call)

All you drunkards you had better learn to pray
All you drunkards you had better learn to pray
On your knees bend down
Trade your bottle for a crown
Can you hear the sound of Gabriel's call (Can you hear Gabriel’s Call)
