When Christ shall come with shouts of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art"

Absolutely brilliant!! Psychedelic gospel blues rock. Doesn't really matter how you try to describe it coz it's superb. East of Underground's Smiling Faces, which is also on the same compilation, is well worth a listen as well. Actually there's quite a few good tracks on the comp, so worth checking out.
