One these morning soon one morning
I'm gonna lay down my cross get me a crown
soon one evening late in the evening
Late in the evening I'm going home live on high
Soon as my feet strike Zion
Lay down my heavy burdens
Put on my robe in glory
Going home one day and tell my story
I've been coming over hills and mountains
Gonna drink from the Christian Fountain
You know all God's sons and daughters that mornin' now
Will drink that old healing water
And we gonna live on forever, we gonna live on forever
We gonna live on up in glory afterwhile.
Oh Lord I'm going out sight-seeing in Beulah
March all around God's altar
Walk and never get tired
Fly Lord and never falter
I'm gonna move on up a little higher
Gonna meet old man Daniel
Gonna move on up a little higher
Gonna meet the Hebrew children
Gonna move on up a little higher
Meet Paul and Silas
Gonna meet my friends and kindred
Gonna move on up a little higher
Gonna meet my loving mother
I'm gonna move on up a little higher
Gonna meet the Lily of the valley
I'm gonna feast with the Rose of Sharon
It will be always howdy howdy
It will be always howdy, howdy
It will be always howdy howdy and never goodbye
Oh will you be there early one morning
Will you be there somewhere round the altar
Will you be there oh when the angels shall call the roll
God knows I'll be waiting
Yes I'll be watching somewhere on the altar
Well I'll be waiting oh at the beautiful yes golden gate
Well well soon as my feet strike Zion
Gonna lay down my heavy burden
I'm going to put on my robe in glory
I've been coming over the hills and mountains
Gonna drink from the Christian Fountain
You know all God's sons and daughters that mornin'
Will drink that old healing water
Meet me there early one morning
Meet me there somewhere on the altar
Meet me there oh when the angels shall call the roll
