No. 193, in Carpenter, Delores, General Editor, 2001, African American Heritage Hymnal, GIA Publications, Inc. Chicago.

The version in the DT lacks verse 4 of the copyright version.
The 'Should there be' verse is not in the copyright version. Added by??

There are other spirituals with the 'no more cryin', no more dyin' theme, as Kaleea noted some time back, but my brain is inactive at the moment.
