ANGELS WAITING AT THE DOOR
Jubilee Singers, c. 1880

My sister's took her flight and gone home,
And the angel's waiting at the door.
My sister's took her flight and gone home,
And the angel's waiting at th door.

Refrain:
Tell all my father's children,
Don't you grieve for me;
Tell all my father's children,
Don't you grieve for me.

She has laid down her cross and gone home,
And &c.

She has taken up her crown and gone home, And &c.

With score.
