My Lord, This Union

Chorus:
O Lord, O my Lord,
O lord, my Lord, this union.
O Lord, O my Lord,
O lord, my Lord, this union.

1 Trouble in the morning, trouble all day—
My Lord, this union;
There'll be no trouble in that day—
My Lord, this union. [Chorus]

2 I left my burden at the foot of the hill,
My Lord, this union;
To serve the Lord with a free good will.
My Lord, this union. [Chorus]

3 Jesus camped in the middle of the air;
My Lord, this union;
None but the righteous shall be there.
My Lord, this union. [Chorus]

4 My head was wet with the midnight dew;
My Lord, this union;
My knees bowed down on the hillside too.
My Lord, this union [Chorus]

5 It was just about the break of day—
My Lord, this union;
I thought my soul would fly away.
My Lord, this union. [Chorus]
