Lyr. Add: Goin' to Shout
William Arms Fisher

(Joyfully but not too fast)
I got a robe, you got a robe,
All of God's children got a robe;
When I get to heav'n goin' to put on my robe,
Goin' to shout all over God's heav'n-

Refrain
Heav'n,- heav'n,-
Ev'rybody talkin' 'bout heav'n ain't goin' there-
Heav'n,- heav'n,-
Goin' to shout all over God's heav'n.

I got a harp, you got a harp,
All of God's children got a harp;
When I get to heav'n goin' to play on my harp,
Goin' to play all over God's heavn-

Refrain
Heav'n,- heav'n,-
Ev'rybody talkin' 'bout heav'n ain't goin' there,
Heav'n,- heav'n,-
Goin' to play all over God's heav'n.

I got a shoes, you got a shoes,
All of God's children got a shoes;
When I get to heav'n goin' to put on my shoes,
Goin' to walk all over God's heav'n.-

Refrain
Ev'rybody talkin', etc.
Goin' to walk all over God's heav'n.

Complete musical score for voice and piano, pp. 41-45.
