[Music]
Oh, brother, in that day
We'll take wings and fly away,
And we'll hear the trumpet sound in the morning.
Oh glory! how I want to go
To hear the trumpet sound in the morning.
Oh, sister, in that day, _etc._
Oh, preachers, in that day, _etc._
Oh, leaders, in that day, _etc._
Oh, converts, in that day, _etc._
You may bury me in the east,
You may bury me in the west, _etc._
You may bury me in the north,
You may bury me in the south, _etc._
A close negro variant of the above spiritual song is in Marsh, p. 136.
Both the Marsh song and the present one are rather degenerate
descendants, apparently, of 'Morning Trumpet' in this collection. See
also _White Spirituals_, 254.
