Move On Up A Little Higher by Mahalia Jackson tilte graphic

One a-these mornings
Soon in the morning
I'm gonna lay down my cross
Get me a crown
Late one evening
Late in the evening, oh
Late in the evening
I'm going home to live on high

Soon as my feet strike Zion
Gonna lay down my heavy burdens
Put on my robe in Glory, Lord
I'm goin' home, one day, and tell my story
I been climbing over hills and mountains
I'm gonna drink, Lord from your Christian fountain
All a-God's sons and daughters,
We gonna drink that ole' healing water
Will you meet me there early in the mornin'
Meet me there somewhere around the alter
Oh I'll be there, Oh when the angels, Lord will call your roll

I'm goin out sight-seeing in Beulah
Walk and never tire
Fly, and never falter
Gonna live, Lord, forever
I'm gonna move on up a little higher
Meet ole' man Daniel
Move on up a little higher
Meet the Hebrew Children

Move on up a little higher, Lord
Meet my friends and loved ones
Move on up a little higher
Meet my lovin' mother
Move on up a little higher
Meet the Lily of the Valley
Feast with the Rose of Sharon
It will be always howdy howdy
It will be always howdy howdy, Lord
It will be always howdy howdy
And never, never goodbye

Oh, will you be there
Somewhere 'round the alter
Will you be there where God can call ya
Will you be there, oh, when the angels one day
shall call God's roll
Oh, Children, I'll be wating, hmmm
Oh no I'll be watching way back in Heaven
I'll be waiting, yes at the beautiful Golden Gates

Well, ya know, soon as my feet strike Zion
I'm gonna lay down my heavy burdens
I'm gonna put on my robe of Glory
I'm going home, one day, tell my story
I been a-comin' up the hills and mountains
I'm gonna drink from the Christian fountain
It will be always, howdy, howdy
It will be always, howdy, howdy
It will be always, howdy, howdy
No, and never goodbye
