I have been tempted, O yes,
An’ I have been tried, O yes,
I have been to the river an’ been baptize,
An’ I want to go to heaven in the morning.

Ride on Jesus, ride on crowning King,
For I want to go to heaven in the morning.

If you see my mother, O yes,
Please tell her for me, O yes,
That the angels in heaven done change my name,
An’ I want to go

Hell is Deep And Hell is Wide???

Old Negro Spiritual

O hell is deep an’ hell is wide,
O hell ain’t got no bottom or side.

I’d rather pray myself away,
Than live in hell an’ burn one day.

O when I git to hebben, I’ll be able to tell,
How I shunned dat dismal hell.

Ev’y since my Lord done set me free,
Dis ole worl’ bin a hell to me.
When I come to find out I’s on de road to hell, I fleed to Jesus.
