Does someone know this gospel song including all the words and who wrote it? Is it a truly old gospel song or is it relatively new? I heard it in the 60's I think. Thanks.

Don't know who wrote it or when, but in the late 40s we sang:

On Monday I am happy
On Tuesday full of joy
Wednesday has a faith
The devil can't destroy.
On Thursday, and Friday
I'm walking in the light
Saturday's a victory
And Sunday a delight
singing..
cho: Glory! Glory! Glory to the Lamb
Hallelujah, I am saved and I'm so glad I am
Glory! Glory! Glory to the Lamb
Hallelujah I am saved and I'm so glad I am.

Thank you. That is for sure the same song but slightly different from the way I remember it. The The chorus went "Sing glory, sing glory, sing glory to the Lamb etc. Does anyone know who wrote this? I can't remember if there are any more verses.

I only found one version, though I did find Hallellujah To The Lamb by Ridgel's Fountain Citians, and Oh Glory, How Happy I Am, a Rev. Gary Davis song performed by Andy Cohen of Memphis. I guess I was thinking of those.

It is on The Music Of Kentucky, Early American Rural Classics 1927-1937, vol. 1, Yazoo 2013. The musicians were probably Elmer Bird, Louis Bird, Jack Hicks, Charley Dykes and Connie Byrd from Williamsburg, KY. While the CD is not all gospel music, some of the most remarkable examples of the period are here by Alfred Karnes, Called To The Foreign Field, I Am Bound For The Promised Land, Where We'll Never Grow Old, etc., and by Ernest Phipps and his Holiness Singers/Quartet, I Want To Go Where Jesus Is, If The Light Has Gone Out Of Your Soul, Shine On Me, etc.

Note on the words. I can't figure out why they sing heavenly gloom for saturday, but that is what I hear. As far as the author and any additional verses, given enough time, I might be able to come up with more on that.

Glory To The Lamb
as performed by the Kentucky Ramblers, September, 1930

chorus
Oh, Glory, Glory, Glory~~Glory to the Lamb
Hallelujah, I am saved, I am so glad I am
Glory, Glory, Glory~~Glory to the Lamb
Hallelujah, I am saved and bound for the promised land.

If you want to feel real happy, I'll tell you what to do
Just come to Jesus right away, get saved through and through
Go on your way rejoicing, live happy every day
Give God your heart and make your start upon the narrow way.

chorus (they omitted the Oh here, and also on the first time at the end)

On monday, I'm happy, on tuesday full of joy
On wednesday I have peace within the devil can't destroy
On thursday, on friday, I'm walking in the light
And saturday is a heavenly gloom and sunday's always right.

chorus twice
