NOW WE TAKE THIS FEEBLE BODY
Traditional Negro Spiritual
Substantially as sung by Andre Solomon-Glover (Opera Ebony, arr. R. Nathaniel Dett), minus improvised vocables.

1. Now we take this feeble body,
An' we carry it to the grave,
An' we all leave it there-- hallelujah.
An' a hallelujah, an' a hallelujah,
And we all leave it there-- hallelujah.
An' a hallelujah, an' a hallelujah,
An' we all leave it there-- hallelujah.

2. Now we take this dear old brother,
An' we carry him to the grave,
An' we all leave him there-- hallelujah.
An' a hallelujah, an' a hallelujah,
An' we all leave him there-- hallelujah.
An' a hallelujah, an' a hallelujah,
An' we all leave him there-- hallelujah.

3. Now we lift our mournful voices
As we gather 'round the grave,
An' we weep as we sing, "hallelujah."
An' a hallelujah, an' a hallelujah,
An' we weep as we sing, "hallelujah."

An' a hallelujah, an' a hallelujah,
An' we weep as we sing, "hallelujah."
