Lyr. Add: I AIN'T GOING TO DIE NO MORE

Chorus:
Oh! aint I glad,
Oh! ain't I glad
Oh! ain't I glad
I ain't a going to die no more

1. Going to meet those happy Christians,
Sooner in the morning,
Sooner in the morning,
Sooner in the morning,
Meet those happy Christians,
Sooner in the morning,
I ain't a going to die no more.

2. Going shouting home to glory,
Sooner in the morning (3x)
Shouting home to glory,
Sooner in the morning,
I ain't a going to die no more.

3. Going to wear the starry crown,
Sooner in the morning, (3x)
To wear the starry crown,
Sooner in the morning,
I ain't a going to die no more.

4. We will sing our troubles over,
Sooner in the morning, (3x)
Sing our troubles over,
Sooner in the morning,
I ain't a going to die no more.

Noble, G. C., 1911, "The Most Popular Plantation Songs", p. 41, with music.
Part of this spiritual was given in thread 75082, I Ain't Gonna Grieve My Lord No More. Grieve
Azizi mentioned that 'Sooner in the Morning,' was used in the spiritual "Ride the Chariot Sooner in the Morning," thread 41800, devoted to chariot spirituals. Chariot

In his gospel song-sermon "Crucifixion," Rev. Gary Davis sang the introductory verse:
Well, I done died one time, and I ain't gonna die no more (2x)
Oh, glory, glory, hallelujah, I done died one time
And I ain't gonna die no more.
Gary Davis

In the novel, "The Glory Field," Walter Dean Myers, about a Black family fron slavery to the present, is the verse:

Oh, sooner in the morning when I rise
With crosses and trials on every side
The young lambs* must find their way-
*applies to Blacks, children and children of future generations who must find their way to freedom, equality and happiness.

Can anyone supply more of this gospel song?
