Move On Up A Little Higher Lyrics - Mahalia Jackson

One a-these mornings 

Soon one morning 

I'm gonna lay down my cross 

Get me a crown 

Soon one evening 

Late in the evening 

Late in the evening 

I'm going home to live on high 

Soon as my feet strike Zion 

Lay down my heavy burdens 

Put on my robe in Glory 

Goin' home, one day, and tell my story 

I been climbing over hills and mountains 

Gonna drink from the Christian fountain 

You know, all a-God's sons and daughters, that morning 

Will be drinking that ol' healing water 

And we gonna live on forever 

We gonna live on forever 

We gonna live on, up in Glory after while

I'm goin out sight-seeing in Buelah 

March all around God's alter 

Gonna walk and never get tired 

Gonna fly, Lord, and never faulter 

I'm gonna move up a little higher 

Gonna meet ol' man Daniel 

I'm gonna move up a little higher 

Gonna meet the Hebrew Children 

I'm gonna move up a little higher 

Gonna meet Paul and Silas 

I'm gonna move on up a little higher 

Gonna meet my friends and kindred 

I'm gonna move on up a little higher 

Gonna meet my loving mother 

I'm gonna move on up a little higher 

Gonna meet that Lily of the Valley 

I'm gonna feast with the Rose of Sharon 

It will be always howdy howdy 

It will be always howdy howdy 

It will be always howdy howdy 

And never goodbye

Oh, will you be there early one morning 

Will you be there, somewhere 'round God's alter 

Will you be there, oh, when the angels shall call God's roll 

God knows I'll be waiting, hmmm 

Yes, I'll be watching somewhere 'round God's alter 

Well, I'll be waiting, oh, at the beautiful, yes, golden gates 

Well, well, soon as my feet strike Zion 

Gonna lay down my heavy burdens 

Gonna put on my robe in Glory 

I'm going home, one day, tell my story 

I been climbing over hills and mountains 

I'm gonna drink from the Christian fountain 

You know all God, God's sons and daughters that mornin' 

Will drink that ol' healing water 

Meet me there, early one morning 

Meet me there, somewhere 'round the alter 

Meet me there, oh, when the angels shall call God's roll
