Religious Songs
'Bout that time while they were a-watchin' the earth.
The angels darted down and took a seat right by the side of 'em.
Rolled back the stone.
Took a seat by the side of Jem,
Never said a word to 'em, but just set there.
And when the angels took their seats,
Good God! Jesus got wp!
Yes, got up out of His grave,
Began pulling off His graveclothes,
Great God! taken the napkin from 'round His jaws,
Laid 'em down in the grave.
We seen the angels watch old Mary and Marthy;
Shook the girls and told 'em just about when the morning star would
appear, Told the girls to go on down into the grave, Told the girls not to grieve and cry, Because He would come again.
Every child of God has something to carry to Jesus! Oh-h-h, how you abused me in this world, And how you caused me to shed briny tears, How you caused me to stand with folded arms! But some day, some day,
Some long, lonesome dayy when the final roll is called, I will fly to the arms of Jesus and be at rest.
[13]
