The Traditional Ballad Index makes reference to Dett - that's Religious Folk-Songs of the Negro as Sung at Hampton Institute, by R. Nathaniel Dett. The book is available at archive.org

Here's my transcription of "Rise and Shine" from Dett, 1909 edition:

RISE AND SHINE

CHORUS
Oh, rise and shine, an' give God de glory, glory
Rise and shine, an' give God de glory, glory
Rise and shine, an' give God de glory, glory
For de year of Juberlee.

Jesus carry de young lambs in his bosom, bosom
Carry de young lambs in his bosom, bosom
Carry de young lambs in his bosom, bosom
For de year ob Juberlee

Jesus lead de ole sheep by still waters, waters
Lead de ole sheep by still waters, waters
Lead de ole sheep by still waters, waters
For de year ob Juberlee
CHORUS

Oh, come on, mourners, get you ready, ready
Come on, mourners, get you ready, ready
Come on, mourners, get you ready, ready
For de year ob Juberlee

You may keep your lamps trimmed and burning, burning
Keep your lamps trimmed and burning, burning
Keep your lamps trimmed and burning, burning
For de year ob Juberlee
CHORUS

Oh, come on, children, don't be weary, weary
Come on, children, don't be weary, weary
Come on, children, don't be weary, weary
For de year ob Juberlee

Oh, don't you hear them bells a-ringin', ringin'
Don't you hear them bells a-ringin', ringin'
Don't you hear them bells a-ringin', ringin'
For de year ob Juberlee
CHORUS

Similar melody, too. So, it has traditional roots, but must we pay royalties for the arky, arky? Well, if it's Universal, at least it's easy to license. I learned the song in the early 1960s.
