Lyrics
(African American Spiritual)
Refrain
My Lord, what a mornin’ (repeat twice)
When the stars begin to fall.
1. You’ll hear the trumpet sound to wait the nations underground.
Looking’ to my God’s right hand, When the stars been to fall. (Refrain)
2. You’ll hear the faithful shout to wake the nations underground… (Refrain)
