Good News

---

"O, good news ! O, good news !
De angels brought de tidings down,
Just comin' from de trone.


"As grief from out my soul shall fly,
Just comin' from de trone;
I 'll shout salvation when I die,
Good news, O, good news !
Just comin' from de trone.


"Lord, I want to go to heaven when I die,
Good news, O, good news ! &c.


"De white folks call us a noisy crew,
Good news, O, good news !
But dis I know, we are happy too,
Just comin' from de trone."
