Give Me Jesus – Twelve-Handbell Version

Our heritage of African-American spirituals is a rich one. Give Me Jesus is about how the most important thing in life – or death – is Jesus, our Lord and Savior.

In the morning, when I rise, in the morning, when I rise,
in the morning, when I rise, give me Jesus.

Give me Jesus, give me Jesus,
you may have all this world, give me Jesus.

Dark midnight was my cry, dark midnight was my cry,
dark midnight was my cry, give me Jesus.

Oh, when I come to die, oh, when I come to die,
oh, when I come to die, give me Jesus.
