One of the earliest known 'call-and-response' spirituals. It's text, unique to Ingalls' "Christian Harmony" is not found in any other hymnal. It appears to be folk poetry, likely transcribed from oral 'camp-meeting' sources. Similar musical structures abound in the spirituals of African-American tradition and those in The Sacred Harp.

All glory to the father be, Oh halle-halle-lujah!

He sent his son to die for me, Oh halle-halle-lujah!

All glory be unto his name, Halle-halle-lujah!

For he is worthy of the same, Oh Glory Hallelujah!

I long to be in realms above,
Where there is naught by grace and love.
I long in Jesus to be wed;
And on his breast recline my head.

Come, come poor sinners, come away!
Why from your Jesus will you stay?
Come, come, poor sinners come behold;
His face is brighter than the gold!

Farewell vain world I bid adieu,
For only Jesus I'll pursue.
My Jesus took me by the hand,
And brought me to the promised land!
