We shall see our moders,

We shall see our chil'en,

Dead an' gone before us,

In de Promised Land.


"Don't you cry, poor sinner,

Don't you cry, poor sinner,

We'se all a-goin

To de Promised Land."

"It makes me feel better to sing them words, Mis' Kenyon," said Nancy; "for it's all true. De Lord will care for us in de Promised Land."
