From George Pullen Jackson, White Spirituals in the Southern Uplands,
p. 240.

I'm glad that I am born to die,
And we'll all shout together in that morning,
From grief and woe my soul shall fly,
And we'll all shout together in that morning,
In that morning, in that morning,
And we'll all shout together in that morning.
