One of these mornings
One of these mornings
I'm gonna lay down my cross
Get me a crown
One of these evenings, oh Lord
Late one evening, my Lord
Late one evening
I'm going home to live on high

Starts as soon as my feet strike Zion
Lay down my heavy burdens
Put on my robe in Glory, Lord
Say Lord, tell a story 

Above the hills and mountains, Lord
Up Christian fountain
All of God's sons and daughters, Lord
Drinking that old healing water
Live on forever
Yes, we gonna live on forever
Yes, we gonna live on up in Glory after while

I'm goin' out sight-seeing in Beulah, Lord
March all around God's alter
Gonna walk, never tired
Oh, Lord, and never falter
