African American Heritage Hymnal ‎#195

195. My Lord! What a Morning

Refrain:
My Lord! what a morning,
My Lord! what a morning,
Oh, my Lord! what a morning,
When the stars begin to fall.
When the stars begin to fall.

1 You will hear the trumpet sound,
To wake the nations underground,
Looking to my God’s right hand,
When the stars begin to fall. [Refrain]

2 You will hear the sinner cry,
To wake the nations underground,
Looking to my God’s right hand,
When the stars begin to fall. [Refrain]

3 You will hear the Christian shout,
To wake the nations underground,
Looking to my God’s right hand,
When the stars begin to fall. [Refrain]
