Go home to my Lord and be free.

II. No more mourning, no more mourning,
No more mourning after while.  And 
before I be a slave I'll be buried

No more sadness after while.
And before I'll be a slave,

[[bold]] KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE [[/bold]]

Paul and Silas bound in jail
Ain't nobody round to go their bail.
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on.

[[bold]] Chorus: [[/bold]]
Hold on, Hold on
Keep your eyes on the prize
Hold on.
Paul and Silas began to shout.
Jail doors opened and they walked out.
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on.
Mary wore three links of chain
Every link was Jesus' name.
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on.

[[bold]] THE HAMMER SONG [[/bold]]

It I had a ham-mer I'd hammer in the
morning,
I'd hammer in the eve-ning all o-ver
this land
I'd ham-mer out free-dom,
I'd ham-mer our jus-tice,
I'd ham-mer out love be-tween my
brother and my sisters,
all..o-ver this land.
If I had a bell, I'd ring it in the
morning, etc.
If I had a song, I'd sing it in the 
morning, etc.

Well, I've got a hammer, and
I've got a bell, and
I've got a song to sing all over this land
It's the hammer of freedom
It's the bell of justice
It's a song about love between my brother
and my sister all over this land
