Burges- G. P. Jackson 1933
I'm glad that I am born to die,
And we'll all shout together in that morning,
From grief and woe my soul shall fly,
And we'll all shout together in that morning.
CHORUS: In that morning, in that morning,
And we'll all shout together in that morning.
Here are some additional verses from The Gospel Singing Convention In South Georgia:
In that Morning:
3. I have some friends before me gone,
And we'll all shout together in that morning;
I am determined to follow on,
And we'll all shout together in that morning;
In that morning...etc.
4. Behold the Savior on the tree
And we'll all shout together in that morning;
He died for you, I hope for me.
And we'll all shout together in the morning;
In that morning... etc.
421 Sweet Morning- Tune: H. S. Reese, 1859 Meter: Long Meter (8,8,8,8)
The happy day will soon appear,
And we’ll all shout together in that morning.
When Gabriel’s trumpet you shall hear,
And we’ll all shout together in that morning.
Chorus: Sweet morning, sweet morning,
And we’ll all shout together in that morning.
Behold the righteous marching, home,
And we’ll all shout together in that morning.
And all the angels bid them come,
And we’ll all shout together in that morning.
(Chorus)
