I will move on up A little higher
One a-these mornings
Soon one morning
Im gonna lay down my cross
Get me a crown
Soon one evening
Late in the evening,
Late in the evening
Im 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
Ive been coming over hills and mountain
Gonna drink from the Christian fountain
Your know all of Gods 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, Im going outside, to sing and bugle
March all around Gods altar
Gonna walk and never get tired
Gonna fly Lord and never falter
Im 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
Im gonna move on up a little higher
Gonna meet the Lily of the Valley
Im 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 Ill be waiting
Yes, Ill be watching somewhere round the altar
Well Ill be waiting
O at the beautiful, yes golden gates
Well, well
Soon as my feet strike Zion
Gonna lay down my heaven burden
Im gonna put on my robe in glory
Im going home one day and tell my story
Ive been coming over hills and mountain
Im gonna drink from the Christian fountain
You know all of Gods 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 Gods roll
