Subject: Lyr Add: Humble Yourself, the bell Done Rung From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 29 Mar 06 - 10:33 PM Lyr. Add: HUMBLE YOURSELF, THE BELL DONE RUNG Spiritual 1. Live humble, humble, humble yourself, the bell done rung; Solo I tried to live humble and I couldn't live humble; I tried to preach humble and I couldn't preach humble; I tried to preach humble and I couldn't preach humble. 2. If you want to see old Satan fall, Load and shoot him with the Gospel ball; If you want to see Satan fall, Live humble, etc. 3. See the hearse a-come rolling around, Carrying off the body to the new burying ground; See the hearse a-come rolling around, Live humble, etc. 4. Behold I stand on the sea of glass, The sea of glass all mingled with fire; God's going to raise-a my soul up higher, Live humble, etc. No. 130, with music, "Negro Spirituals, or the Songs of the Jubilee Singers." Published by W. J. Gibbs, Bromley, Kent. Lyr. Add: LIVE A HUMBLE Spiritual Live a humble, humble, Humble yourselves, the bell's done rung. Glory and honor! Praise King Jesus! Glory and honor! Praise the Lord! Live a humble etc. (After repeat, go to verse) 1. Watch that sun, steady he runs, Don't let him catch you with your work undone. Live a humble etc. 2. Ever see such a man as God! He gave up his Son for to come and die. Gave up his Son for to come and die, Just to save my soul from a burning fire, Live a humble, etc. 3. See God 'n' you see God 'n' you see God in the morning, He'll come riding down the line of time; The fire'll be falling, He'll be calling, "Come to judgement come," Live a humble, etc. John W. Work, 1940, "American Negro Songs and Spirituals," p. 184. In 1937, T. Jefferson Cleveland made a new arrangement of the harmony: No. 108, "Songs of Zion," 1981, ed. Cleveland and Verolga Nix, Abingdon Press. See Cleveland Index for other versions. Dett added a version in "Religious Folk-Songs of the Negro," additions to Fenner's "Cabin and Plantation Songs" (in 1926?) but the spiritual does not occur in Fenner, as noted mistakenly in the Cleveland Index. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Humble Yourself, the bell Done Rung From: GUEST,Dale Date: 30 Mar 06 - 12:13 AM Thought I recognized this. Ian & Sylvia did this years ago as Live A-Humble. It was on their first album in 1962. Sample here, as well as the other usual places. http://www.mp3.com/albums/167554/summary.html Just push the little green button next to the song's name for a sample. |
