1 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 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]

and when I want to sing,
and when I want to sing,
give me Jesus. [Refrain]
