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
I’ve been coming over hills and mountain
Gonna drink from the Christian fountain
You know all of God’s sons and daughters that morning now
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 I’m going outside to sing and bugle
March all around God’s altar
Gonna walk
Never get tired
Gonna fly
Lord and never falter
I’m gonna move up a little higher
Gonna meet old man Daniel
Gonna move 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
I’m gonna move on up a little higher
Gonna meet the Lily of the Valley
I’m 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
Oh will you be there
Early one morning
Will you be there
Somewhere ’round the altar
Will you be there
Oh when the angels shall call the roll
God knows I’ll be waiting
Yes I’ll be watching
Somewhere ’round the altar
Well I’ll be waiting
Oh at the beautiful
Yes golden gate
Well well
Soon as my feet strike Zion
Gonna lay down my heaven burden
I’m gonna put on my robe in glory
I’m going home one day and tell my story
I’ve been coming over hills and mountain
I’m gonna drink from the Christian fountain
You know all of God’s 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
Oh when the angels shall call God’s roll
