"My father, how long, My father, how long, My father, how long, Poor sinner suffer here? And it won't be long, And it won't be long, And it won't be long, Poor sinner suffer here. We'll soon be free, De Lord will call us home. We'll walk de miry road Where pleasure never dies. We'll walk de golden streets Of de new Jerusalem ... We'll fight for liberty When de Lord will call us home."[65] "Gwine rock trubbel over, I b'lieve, Rock trubbel over, I b'lieve, Dat Sabbath has no end."[66] "My fader's done wid de trouble o' de world, Wid de trouble o' de world, Wid de trouble o' de world, My fader's done wid de trouble o' de world, Outshine de sun."[67] Although the songs above tell the slave's dissatisfaction with the present world, there are other songs that relate his definite experiences of joy arising from a feeling of triumph over this world of sorrow by assurances of a future world of bliss. Some of these songs of joy are the following: "I started home, but I did pray, An' I met ole Satan on de way; Ole Satan made a one grab at me, But he missed my soul, an' I went free. My sins went a-lumberin' down to hell, An' my soul went a-leapin' up Zion's hill."[68] "Ole Satan's church is here below. Up to God's free church I hope to go. Cry Amen, cry Amen, cry Amen to God!"[69] "I'm so glad, so glad; I'm so glad, so glad, Glad I got religion, so glad, Glad I got religion, so glad. I'm so glad, so glad; I'm so glad, so glad, Glad I bin' changed, so glad, Glad I bin' changed, so glad."[70] "My brudder have a seat and I so glad, Good news member, good news; My brudder have a seat and I so glad, And I heard from heav'n today."[71] "Brudder, guide me home, an' I am glad, Bright angels biddy me to come; Brudder, guide me home, an' I am glad, Bright angels biddy me to come. What a happy time, chil'n, What a happy time, chil'n, What a happy time, chil'n, Bright angels biddy me to come. Let's go to God, chil'n, Bright angels biddy me to come."[72] "I jus' got home f'um Jordan, I jus' got home f'um Jordan, I jus' got home f'um Jordan, 'Ligion's so-o-o sweet. My work is done an' I mus' go, My work is done an' I mus' go, My work is done an' I mus' go, 'Ligion's so-o-o sweet."[73] "Shout an' pray both night an' day; How can you die, you in de Lord? Come on, chil'n, let's go home; O I'm so glad you're in de Lord."[74] "Little children, then won't you be glad, Little children, then won't you be glad, That you have been to heav'n, an' you gwine to go again, For to try on the long white robe, children, For to try on the long white robe."[75]
