[1. O member, will you linger?
See de chil'en do linger here.
2. I go to glory wid you, Member, join.]
3 O Jesus is our Captain.
4 He lead us on to glory.
5 We'll meet at Zion gateway.*
6 We'll talk dis story over.
7 We'll enter into glory.
8 When we done wid dis world trials.
9 We done wid all our crosses.
10 O brudder, will you meet us?
11 When de ship is out a-sailin'.
12 O Jesus got de hellum.
13 Fader, gader in your chil'en.
14 O gader dem for Zion.
15 'Twas a beauteous Sunday mornin'.
16 When he rose from de dead.
17 He will bring you milk and honey.
* Heaven portal.
