Table of Contents
From the Music Score
Roll, Jordan, roll
Jehovah, hallelujah
I hear from heaven to-day
Blow your trumpet, Gabriel
Praise, member
Wrestle on, Jacob
The lonesome valley
I can't stay behind
Poor Rosy
The trouble of the world
There's a meeting here to-night
Hold your light
Happy morning
No man can hinder me
Lord, remember me
Not weary yet
Religion so sweet
Hunting for the Lord
Go in the wilderness
Tell my Jesus"morning"
The Graveyard
John, John, of the holy order
I saw the beam in my sister's eye
Hunting for a city
Gwine follow
Lay this body down
Heaven bell a-ring
Jine 'em
Rain fall and wet Becca Lawton
Bound to go
Micheal row the boat ashore
Sail, o believer
Rock o' jubilee
Stars begin to fall
King Emanuel
Satan's camp a-fire
Give up the world
Jesus on the water-side
I wish I been dere
Build a house in paradise
I know when I'm going home
I'm a-trouble in de mind
Travel on
Archangel open the door
My body rock 'long fever
Bell da ring
Pray all de member
Turn, sinner, turn o!
My army cross over
Join the angel band
I an' satan had a race
Shall I die?
When we do meet again
The white marble stone
I can't stand the fire
Meet, o Lord!
Wait, Mr. Mackright
Early in the morning
Hail, Mary
No more rain fall for wet you
I want to go home
Good-bye, brother
Fare ye well
Many thousand go
Brother Moses gone
The sin-sick soul
Some valiant soldier
Hallelu, hallelu
Children do linger
Good-bye
Lord, make me more patient
The day of judgment
The resurrection morn
Nobody knows the trouble I've had
Who is on the Lord's side
Hold out to the end
Come go with me
Every hour in the day
In the mansions above
Shout on, children
Jesus, won't you come by-and-bye?
Heave away
Wake up, Jacob
On to glory
Just now
Shock along, John
Round the corn, Sally
Jordan's mills
Sabbath has no end
I don't feel weary
The hypocrite and the concubine
O shout away
O'er the crossing
Rock o' my soul
We will march through the valley
What a trying time
Almost over
Don't be weary, traveller
Let God's saints come in
The golden altar
The winter
The heaven bells
The gold band
The good old way
I'm going home
Sinner won't die no more
Brother, guide me home
Little children, then won't you be glad?
Charleston gals
Run, nigger, run!
I'm gwine to Alabamy
My father, how long?
I'm in trouble
O Daniel
O brothers, don't get weary
I want to join the band
Jacob's ladder
Pray on
Good news, member
I want to die like-a Lazarus die
Away down in Sunbury
This is the trouble of the world
Lean on the Lord's side
These are all my father's children
The old ship of Zion
Come along, Moses
The social band
God got plenty o' room
You must be pure and holy
Belle Layotte
Rémon
Aurore Bradaire
