When I Wake up in Glory Songtext

von Mahalia Jackson

I shall fall asleep someday
From this earth I'll pass away
But my soul should reach up that land

O when I sing on
I've cast faith against the host of sin prevail
I'm gonna wake
We cannot understand

O I will wake, wake, wake up yes, in glory
And with Jesus
I'll sing redemption story
I shall see His blessed sea
Yea He's kept me by His grace
When I wake up
Yes, in glory by and by

O, when I wear it
Eyes so close
And a song of sweet reborn
Singing glory hallelujah
Yes, as I call Lord
All my troubles will be gone
And I'll be free from sin at last
And I'll leave all my sorrow heavy load

One morning I'm going to wake, wake
Wake up, yes in glory
And with Jesus I'm gonna sing O redemption story
I shall see, His blessed sea
Yea, He kept me along by grace
When I wake up Yes, in glory
By and by

O when I wake, wake
Wake up yes, in glory
And with Jesus
I'm gonna sing redemption story
O Lord
I shall see God's blessed sea
Yea, he kept me along by grace
When I wake up Yes, in glory
O by and by
