1 In the morning when I rise,
In the morning when I rise,
In the morning when I rise,
Give me Jesus.

Give me Jesus, Give me Jesus,
You may have all this world,
Give me Jesus.

2 Dark midnight was my cry,
Dark midnight was my cry,
Dark midnight was my cry.
Give me Jesus. [Refrain]

O when I come to die,
O when I come to die,
Give me Jesus. [Refrain]
