Bright morning stars are rising,
Bright morning stars are rising,
Bright morning stars are rising —
Day is a-breakin in my soul.
Oh where are our dear fathers?
Oh where are our dear fathers?
Oh where are our dear fathers?
Day is a-breakin in my soul.
Some have gone to heaven shoutin!
Some have gone to heaven shoutin!
Some have gone to heaven shoutin!
Day is a-breakin in my soul.
Some are down in the valley prayin,
Some are down in the valley prayin,
Some are down in the valley prayin —
Day is a-breakin in my soul.
