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 the rest,
Give me Jesus.

2 Dark midnight was my cry,
Dark midnight was my cry,
Dark midnight was my cry,
Give me Jesus. [Refrain]

3 Just about the break of day,
Just about the break of day,
Just about the break of day,
Give me Jesus. [Refrain]

Oh, when I come to die,
Oh, when I come to die,
Give me Jesus. [Refrain]

5 And when I want to sing,
And when I want to sing,
And when I want to sing,
Give me Jesus. [Refrain]
