Nobody knows the trouble I see, Lord!

Swing Low, sweet Chariot.

Room Enough.

O Redeemed.

Roll, Jordan, Roll.

Turn back Pharaoh's Army.

Rise, Mourners.

From every Graveyard.

Children, we all shall be Free.

I'm a Rolling.

I'll hear the Trumpet Sound.

Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel.

I've just come from the Fountain.

Children, you'll be called on.

Give me Jesus.

Gwine to ride up in the Chariot.

We'll die in the Field.

Go down, Moses.

The Rocks and the Mountains.

Been a Listening.

Keep me from sinking Down.

I'm a trav'ling to the Grave.

Many thousand Gone.

Steal Away.

I'm a rolling,
I'm a rolling,
I'm a rolling thro' an unfriendly world,
I'm a rolling,
I'm a rolling thro' an unfriendly world.

O brothers wont you help me
O brothers, wont you help me to pray,
O brothers wont you help me,
Wont you help me in the service of the Lord?

O sisters, wont you help me,
O sisters, wont you help me to pray;
O sisters, wont you help me,
Wont you help me in the service of the Lord!

O preachers, wont you help me,
O preachers, wont you help me to fight;
O preachers, wont you help me,
Wont you help me in the service of the Lord?

CHO.—

I'm a-rolling, &c.
