"This is apparently the first arrangement of this tune, based on a camp meeting folk hymn from the last eighteenth or early nineteenth century. Other arrangements from the same source are by John G. McCurry (''Burges'', from The Social Harp, 1855) and Henry S. Reese (''Sweet Morning'', from ''The Sacred Harp'', p. 421, 1860 to the present). ''Sweet Morning'' in ''The Sacred Harp'' is based on an English folk tune (Jackson 1953, No. 168); ''Burges'' in ''The Social Harp'' is said to be based on an African-American spiritual (Jackson 1933, pp. 259-260). The words by one or more anonymous authors; verses first appear in 1790. There are twelve stanzas in the ''Southern and Western Pocket Harmonist''."

¶Lyrics / Text

1. Jesus, my all, to heaven is gone, And we'll all shout together in that morning; He whom I fix my hopes upon, 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. 2. His track I see, and I'll pursue, And we'll all shout together in that morning; The narrow way, till him I view, And we'll all shout together in that morning. 3. The way the holy prophets went. And we'll all shout together in that morning; The road that leads from banishment, And we'll all shout together in that morning. 4. The King's highway of holiness, And we'll all shout together in that morning; I'll go, for all his paths are peace. And we'll all shout together in that morning.
