I am looking for the origin (year first written or published) for In My Robe Of White by Geniece Spencer Ingold. I have the lyrics as:

In my robe of white, I will fly away.
To that land so fair, meet my Jesus there;
It will be so grand when I get to that land
In my robe of white, I will fly away.

1. First I'll hear the trumpet sound, then all the saints will be heaven bound
We will cross over Jordan wide, stop and view the other side.
There I'll see those holy hills and my mansion He has built,
I'll be the first one in the line, want to see my name in the Book of Life.

In my robe of white, I will fly away.
To that land so fair, meet my Jesus there;
It will be so grand when I get to that land
In my robe of white, I will fly away.

2. It's gonna be a wonderful time when I get to the other side
See my loved ones gone before, we'll depart from them no more;
We'll be walking on streets of gold, surrounded by riches untold,
When I first look on Jesus' face, I'll know I'm saved by His amazing grace

In my robe of white, I will fly away.
To that land so fair, meet my Jesus there;
It will be so grand when I get to that land
In my robe of white, I will fly away.

Here's a performance of "In My Robe of White" by the Spencer Family:

Here's a 1996 live performance by the Spencers:

They're real country gospel. The song is kinda fun. I take it that the woman in the video is Barbara Spencer, not Geneiece.
