Move On Up 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 to live on high |
| Soon as my feet strike Zion |
| Lay down my heavy burdens |
| Put on my robe in Glory |
| Goin' home, one day, and tell my story |
| I been climbing over hills and mountains |
| Gonna drink from the Christian fountain |
| You know, all a-God's sons and daughters, that morning |
| Will be drinking that ol' healing water |
| And we gonna live on forever |
| We gonna live on forever |
| We gonna live on, up in Glory after while |
| I’m goin out sight-seeing in Buelah |
| March all around God’s alter |
| Gonna walk and never get tired |
| Gonna fly, Lord, and never faulter |
| I’m gonna move up a little higher |
| Gonna meet ol' man Daniel |
| I’m gonna move up a little higher |
| Gonna meet the Hebrew Children |
| I’m gonna move up a little higher |
| Gonna meet Paul and Silas |
| I’m gonna move on up a little higher |
| Gonna meet my friends and kindred |
| I’m gonna move on up a little higher |
| Gonna meet my loving mother |
| I’m gonna move on up a little higher |
| Gonna meet that 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 God’s alter |
| Will you be there, oh, when the angels shall call God’s roll |
| God knows I’ll be waiting, hmmm |
| Yes, I’ll be watching somewhere 'round God’s alter |
| Well, I’ll be waiting, oh, at the beautiful, yes, golden gates |
| Well, well, soon as my feet strike Zion |
| Gonna lay down my heavy burdens |
| Gonna put on my robe in Glory |
| I’m going home, one day, tell my story |
| I been climbing over hills and mountains |
| I’m gonna drink from the Christian fountain |
| You know all God, God’s sons and daughters that mornin' |
| Will drink that ol' healing water |
| Meet me there, early one morning |
| Meet me there, somewhere 'round the alter |
| Meet me there, oh, when the angels shall call God’s roll |
