I am editing a book by the poet Nikki Giovanni that introduces the lyrics of many spirituals to younger readers. But there are a number of songs I have not been able to track down either to a "tradition" or a specific author. If anyone can help me resolve these questions, or point to good sources (I'm using the African American Heritage Hymnal, and the Book of American Negro Spirituals) that would be great. The songs are
Fare You Well
Water Boy (I know, a prison song)
Going Up to Glory (Is Andre Thomas the author, or the arranger?)
Hush, Hush
Been in the Storm So Long
Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child
Honor, Honor
Didn't It Rain
I'm Glad Man Didn't Make Me.

Thanks for any thoughts or leads.
