Subject: Lyr Add: DID YOU HEAR WHEN JESUS ROSE?
From Roland Hayes, My Favorite Spirituals (pp. 123-26):

    DID YOU HEAR WHEN JESUS ROSE?

Mary set her table,
In spite of all her foes.
King Jesus sat at de center place,
An' cups did overflow.

Chillun, did you hear when Jesus rose,
Did you hear when Jesus rose?
Did you hear when Jesus rose?
He rose an' ascended on high.

The Father looked at His son an' smiled,
De Son did look at-a Him,
De Father saved my soul from Hell,
An' de Son freed me from sin.

Chillun, did you hear when Jesus rose,
Did you hear when Jesus rose?
Did you hear when Jesus rose?
He rose an' ascended on high.
