501. O Freedom

1 O freedom, O freedom,
O freedom over me,
And before I'd be a slave,
I'll be buried in my grave,
And go home to my Lord, and be free.

2 No more moaning, no more moaning,
no more moaning over me,
And before I'd be a slave,
I'll be buried in my grave,
And go home to my Lord, and be free.

3 There'll be singing, there'll be singing,
there'll be singing over me,
And before I'd be a slave,
I'll be buried in my grave,
And go home to my Lord, and be free.
