God's children too long have been burdened
They are longing for Heaven's green shore
Where heartaches are left far behind us
And the burdens are carried no more.

Chorus
Come morning, I'll walk by the river
And I'll rest 'neath the evergreen tree.
And I'll carry my cross thru the midnight.
Come morning, there's glory for me.

Sometimes I'm despised and rejected
And I question oh Father, how long?
And then I'll take one more look at Mount Calvary,
Then it gives me the strength to go on.

Chorus
Come morning, I'll walk by the river
And I'll rest 'neath the evergreen tree.
And I'll carry my cross thru the midnight.
Come morning, there's glory for me.
