When I Wake Up In Glory

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
