BEAUTIFUL MORNING: Jackson, White and Negro Spirituals 1934
Oh! who will come and go with me?
I'm bound fair Canaan's land to see.
CHORUS: In the morning,
What a beautiful morning that will-be,
When we all rise together in the morning
Jackson compares this to the African-American spiritual "Almost Over." The following version with different lyrics for the verse was popular in the early 1800s and appears in several sources:
Our suffering times will soon be o'er,
When we all rise together in the morning;
Then we shall sigh and weep no more,
When we all rise together in the morning.
CHORUS: In the morning,
What a beautiful morning that will-be,
When we all rise together in the morning

CHORUS: In the morning, what a beautiful morning that will be,
In the morning, what a beautiful morning that will be,
When we all rise together in the morning!
Our suffering times will soon be o'er,
When we all rise together in the morning;
Then we shall sigh and weep no more,
When we all rise together in the morning.
In the morning, &c

Oh! who will come and go with me?
I'm bound fair Canaan's land to see ;
I'll join with those who've gone before,
Where sin and sorrow are no more.
In the morning,
What a beautiful morning that will-be,
When we all rise together in the morning
2. A few more days or years at most,
And I shall land on Canaan's coast;
There on the mount of sweet repose,
I'll bid farewell to all my woes.
3. Oh! may my soul march boldly on,
And ever sing the blessed song!
Oh! may I always persevere,
And never stop till I get there!
4. Oh! what a happy time 'twill be,
When we our friends in heaven shall see!
There we will tell our sufferings o'er,
When we shall reach that happy shore.
