In that great getting up morning
Negro spiritual
I'm going to tell you about coming of the judgment,
farewell, farewell,
i'm going to tell you about coming of the judgment,
farewell, farewell.

I'm going to tell you about the coming of the Saviour,
farewell, farewell,
i'm going to tell you about the coming of the Saviour,
farewell, farewell.
There's better day a coming, farewell, farewell,
prayer makers pray no more, farewell, farewell.
Oh preachers, fold your bibles, farewell, farewell,
for the last soul's converted, farewell, farewell.

In that great getting up morning, farewell, farewell
in that great getting up morning, farewell, farewell

Blow your trumpet, Gabriel, farewell, farewell,
the Lord spoke to Gabriel, farewell, farewell.
Lord how loud should I blow it? Farewell, farewell,
blow it right, calm and easy, farewell, farewell.
Do not alarm all my people, farewell, farewell,
tell them all, to come to judgement, farewell, farewell.

In that great getting up morning, farewell, farewell
in that great getting up morning, farewell, farewell

Than you'll see poor sinners rising, farewell, farewell
than you'll see the world on fire, farewell, farewell.
Than you'll hear the rumbling thunder, farewell, farewell,
than you'll see them stars a-falling, farewell, farewell.
Than you'll see the Cristians rising, farewell, farewell,
See them marching home to heaven, farewell, farewell.

Fare you well poor sinner, farewell, farewell,
fare you well poor sinner, farewell, farewell.

In that great getting up morning, farewell, farewell
in that great getting up morning, farewell, farewell

Nell'alba di quel grande mattino,
vedrai le stelle cadere, vedrai il mondo nelle fiamme.
Che tutto ti vada bene, povero peccatore,
nell'alba di quel grande mattino
