This is an African American folk song in Gather 3rd ed. As I noted previously, I should not be surprised that the Gather songs that I haven’t already come across as generally used in Australian churches, are likely to be those that are from another culture. That doesn’t mean they can’t be used, but it does mean they won’t come naturally to many parish musicians here.
GIA sell a different arrangement to the simple one here in Gather 3.
My backing has the notes as written but you know you are going have to swing this thing.
1 Jesus, Jesus,
Jesus in the morning,
Jesus in the noontime;
Jesus, Jesus,
Jesus when the sun goes down!2 Praise Him, Praise Him,
Praise Him in the morning,
Praise Him in the noontime;
Praise Him, Praise Him,
Praise Him when the sun goes down!3 Love Him, Love Him,
Love Him in the morning,
Love Him in the noontime;
Love Him, Love Him,
Love Him when the sun goes down!4 Serve Him, Serve Him,
Serve Him in the morning,
Serve Him in the noontime;
Serve Him, Serve Him,
Serve Him when the sun goes down!5 Jesus, Jesus,
Jesus in the morning,
Jesus in the noontime;
Jesus, Jesus,
Jesus when the sun goes down!
Let’s see what styles I can find this sing done in:
Country
Kiddies
Children’s choir
MIDI + vocal
More children (but nice)
Couldn’t find the gospel spiritual I was looking for so I suppose it may have become a children’s song now.
