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
