Trials, Troubles, Tribulations

About Trials, Troubles, Tribulations

Trials, Troubles, Tribulations is a popular American bluegrass gospel song written by Estil C. Ball. It was originally entitled simply "Tribulations" and was recorded in 1959. The song is the most famous composition written by E. C. Ball. The lyrics were based, as Ball told Alan Lomax in 1959, "on the last book in the Bible: Revelations." Original versions of Ball's song are featured on “White Spirituals”; “Sounds of the South”; and volume five in the Southern Journey series, “Deep South… Sacred and Sinful,” 1960 (Prestige). The song was reissued on “Southern Journey #6: Sheep, Sheep, Don'cha Know the Road” in the Alan Lomax Collection CD series, 1997 (Rounder). It is currently in print on “E. C. Ball and Orna: Through the Years” (Copper Creek) and "I'm Gonna Live Anyhow Until I Die," volume 5 in the "Alan Lomax's Southern Journey, 1959–1960" series (Mississippi Records / Global Jukebox). The song has been frequently covered by other musicians, such as Andrew Bird as "Trials, Troubles, Tribulations.". Most recently, the song appears on Valerie June's 2013 release, "Pushin' Against a Stone." more »

Trials, troubles, tribulations
Such has never been before
When the angels pour upon us
Their vows of wrath forevermore

When the fire comes down from heaven
And the blood shall fill the sea
I'll be carried home by Jesus
And forever with him be
The Beast with horns will come upon you
One with seven, one with ten
Men will cry unto the mountains,
They'll pray to die, but cannot win

The mark must be upon your forehead,
These worldly goods you then can buy
"Depart from me, I never knew you!"
You'll hear our blessed Savior cry

I'll be carried home by Jesus
And forever with him be
