I Will Move on Up a Little Higher

One a-these mornings 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 burden Put on my robe in glory Going home one day and tell my story I've been coming over hills and mountain Gonna drink from the Christian fountain Your know all of God's sons and daughters that morning Will drink that 'ole healing water And we gonna live on forever We gonna live on forever We gonna live on up in glory after awhile O Lord, I'm going outside, to sing and bugle March all around God's altar Gonna walk and never get tired Gonna fly Lord and never falter I'm gonna move 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 Gonna meet Paul and Samuel Gonna move on up a little higher 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, Will be always, howdy, howdy, Will be always, howdy, howdy, And never goodbye O will you be there Early one morning Will you be there Somewhere 'round the altar Will you be there O when the angels shall call the roll God knows I'll be waiting Yes, I'll be watching somewhere 'round the altar Well I'll be waiting O at the beautiful, yes golden gates Well, well Soon as my feet strike Zion Gonna lay down my heaven burden I'm gonna put on my robe in glory I'm going home one day and tell my story I've been coming over hills and mountain I'm gonna drink from the Christian fountain You know all of God's sons and daughters that morning Will drink that 'ole healing water Meet me there early one morning Meet me there somewhere 'round the altar Meet me there O when the angels shall call God's roll
