He also sings "_sister_, don't you hear," etc., _brother_, _father_, _preacher_. A peculiar modification of "Walking in the Light" is the song of the same name among the negroes, which seems to have its origin in the scriptural injunction, "Ye are the light of the world." Let yo' light shine all over the world, Walkin' in the light, beautiful light. Mos' wonderful light, shine by night, Let yo' light shine all over the world. I am the light, most pitiful light, Let yo' light shine all over the world. Follow the light, mos' beautiful light, Let yo' light shine all over the world. Sinner, what you gwine do when the lamp stops burnin', Let yo' light shine all over the world? The negro prays to be remembered at Calvary; so, too, he asks to remember Calvary and the Lord. A single fragment of the old song remains: O Lord remember me, remember Calvary, For without any doubt and you remember the Lord, I pray thee, Lord, remember me, O Lord, remember me, remember Calvary. The "Pilgrim's song" that has been considered so beautiful is still a favorite; the words of the stanzas differ little. It may be called a standard hymn of the negroes. There is a story that Bishop Allen, the founder of the A. M. E. church, composed the song on his dying bed. He was very well educated and a man of considerable ability and feeling. While the sadly hopeful words of the song are of a higher type than the average spiritual, and while its metrical form is far above the usual, the song still combines many of the ideas and phrases of the favorite spirituals of the slaves. One of these songs, "I hope my mother will be there, In that beautiful world on high", embodies the same sentiment and in similar words. Another, "Give 'way Jordan, I want to go across to see my Lord. I heard sweet music, I wish dat music would come here", represents the other part of the song. The Pilgrim's song as it is found is: I am a poor way-faring stranger, While journeying through this world of woe, But there is no sickness, toil, nor danger, In that bright world to which I go. _I'm going there to see my classmates, They said they'd meet me when I come, I'm just a going over Jordan, I'm just going over home._ I know dark clouds'll gather round me, I know my road is rough and steep, Yet there bright fields are lying just before me, Where God's redeemed and vigils keep. _I'm going there to see my mother, She said she'd meet me when I come, I'm just going over Jordan, I'm just a going over home._ I'll soon be free, free every trial, My body will sleep in the old churchyard. I'll quit the cross of self-denial, And enter in my great reward. _I'm going there to see my mother, She said she'd meet me when I come, I'm just a going over Jordan, I'm just going over home._
