Jubilee Songs

A great Camp-meeting in the promised land
A Happy New Year
A little more faith in Jesus
Anchor in the Lord
Angels Waiting at the door

Been a listening
Benediction
Bright sparkles in the Churchyard

Children, you'll be called on
Children, we all shall be free
Chilly Water
Come, all of God's children
Come down, angels
Come, let us all go down

Deep River
Did not old Pharoah get lost?
Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel
Don't you grieve after me
Down by the River

Farewell, my brother
From every grave-yard

Gabriel's Trumpet's going to blow
Getting ready to die
Gideon's Band
Give me Jesus
Go down Moses
Go, chain the lion down
Good-bye, Brothers
Good news, the chariot's coming
Good old Chariot
Grace
Gwine to ride up in the Chariot

Hail! Hail!
Hard trials
He arose
He rose from the dead
He's the Lily of the Valley

I am going to die no more
I ain't got weary yet
I know that my Redeemer lives
I'll hear the trumpet sound
I'm a rolling
I'm a travelling to the grave
I'm going to live with Jesus
I'm going to sing all the way
I'm so glad (no. 32)
I'm so glad (no. 107)
I'm troubled in mind
I want to be ready; or, walk in Jerusalem just like John
In Bright Mansions above
Inching along
In the River of Jordan
In that great getting-up morning
I've been in the storm so long
I've been redeemed
I've just come from the Fountain

John Brown's Body
Judgement-day is rolling round
Judgement will find you so

Keep me from sinking down
Keep your lamps trimmed and burning

Listen to the angels
Love feast in Heaven
Lord, I wish I had a come
Lord's Prayer

Many thousand gone
March on
Mary and Martha
Move along
My good Lord's been here
My Lord, what a mourning
My Lord's writing all the time
My ship is on the ocean
My way's cloudy
Nobody knows the trouble I see
Now we take this feeble body

Oh! holy Lord
Oh, Brothers are you getting ready?
Oh, give me the wings
Oh, make a-me holy
Oh, wasn't that a wide river
Oh, yes! Oh, yes!
Old ship of Zion
O redeemed
O! Sinner Man

Peter, go ring them bells
Prepare us
Reign, Master Jesus
Reign, O reign
Ride on, King Jesus
Rise and Shine
Rise, Mourners
Rise, shine, for thy light is a-coming
Roll, Jordan, roll
Room enough
Run to Jesus

Save me, Lord, save me
Shine, shine (no. 28)
Shine, shine (no. 98)
Sweet Canaan
Show me the way
Some of these mornings
Steal away
Swing low, sweet Chariot

'Tis Jordan's River
The General Roll
The Gospel train
The Rocks and the Mountains
The Angels changed my Name
There's a meeting here tonight
The Ten Virgins
The work's being done
They led my Lord away
This Old Time religion
Turn back Pharoah's army

Wait a little while
Way over Jordan
We are almost home
We are climbing the hills of Zion
We'll die in the Field
We'll overtake the Army
We'll stand the Storm
We shall walk thro' the valley
What kind of shoes are you going to wear
When Moses smote the water
When shall I get there
Wrestling Jacob

Zion's Children

It would be nice to have all 128 in Mudcat.
Perhaps each should have its own thread, or join other versions of the same spiritual in a single thread.

Some already have been posted; e. g., Jim Dixon posted He's the Lily of the Valley in thread 120649 (taken from an earlier printing, Pike, 1870s, but identical).

(A different hymn, Lily of the Valley was linked in thread 54116, words Charles W. Fry 1881, music Will S. Hays, c. 1871).

The two should not be confused.

Joe might want to comment.

Hmmm. I think in general when you're posting a number of songs from a hymnal, it's best to put them all in one thread. If you remember, put the title of the song in the title of the message. If you forget, a volunteer will most likely change it for you.
If there's need to study a particular song and post several versions of it, then it would make sense to have a separate thread for a song (but I think I'd still post a copy in the thread from that songbook if you're posting all the songs from a book. You know, like we did for the John A. Stone songs.

Access to Gutenberg book "forbidden." Google has preempted(?). Nasty people!

I have posted (and others have too) several of the songs, some in the last few days, but I would suggest that all be put in this thread in any case. I think Joe wouldn't object to the duplication, and looking them up would be simpler.

Any volunteers besides Jack Campin and myself? Each taking a portion of the list. No musical scores, but most are in the partial book linked by Richie.

I learned A Little More Faith listening to Blind Lemon play it; but I only remember one verse:

Talk about me

I want a little more faith in
Jesus
Talk about me
Down on my knees
I want a little more faith in
Jesus

He plays it as a raggy number with his infallible steady bass thumb driving the song along.

Amos,

I think "A Little More Faith" is by Rev. Gary Davis. If you know the complete lyrics, please post.

Q- actually all the lyrics at my site are there for A-B except "Happy New Year" which will appear in my H titles some day.

Several of the Jubilee songs in the link I posts are different. I'm not sure how many, I'll try and figure it out and post those.

Seems like the songs posted by Masato in the different editions are the same. Anyone see any different songs?

Thanks for posting these.

We want no cowards in our band,
That from their colors fly,
We call for valiant-hearted men,

We see the pilgrim as he lies,
With glory in his soul;
To Heaven he lifts his longing eyes,
And bids this world adieu.

Give ease to the sick, give sight to the blind,
Enable the cripple to walk;

And give them permission to fly.

Jonah from the belly of the whale,
And the Hebrew children from the fiery furnace,
And why not every man?

The sun forbear to shine,
And every star disappear,
King Jesus shall be mine.

And the ship it begin to sail,
It landed me over on Canaan's shore,
And I'll never come back any more.
