[Verse 1]
Black folks don't you see de light
De day ob Liberty's comin', comin'
Almost gone de gloomy night
De day ob Liberty's comin'
High! Ho! De black folks sing
Loud! Loud Dar voices ring
Good news de Lord he bring:
"Now let my people go."
[Chorus]
Just you look and see dat light!
De day ob Liberty's comin', comin'
Almost gone de gloomy night
De day ob Liberty's comin'
[Verse 2]
De Union folks dey wait so long
We tink dey neber was comin', comin'
And Secesh he get so strong
We tink dey neber was comin'
Now Uncle Abe he say
Come Massa while you may
And for de slave wе'll pay
For we must let him go
[Chorus]
Just you look and see dat light!
De day ob Libеrty's comin', comin'
Almost gone de gloomy night
De day ob Liberty's comin'
[Verse 3]
White folks let us help ye trou
De day ob Liberty's comin', comin'
We can fight and die for you
De day ob Liberty's comin'
Yes! yes! we'll shout and sing
Loud! loud! our voices ring
Soon! soon! de mighty King
Will let His people go
[Chorus]
Just you look and see dat light!
De day ob Liberty's comin', comin'
Almost gone de gloomy night
De day ob Liberty's comin'
[Verse 4]
Oh de Lord will bring it right
De day ob Liberty's comin', comin'
From dis drefful bloody fight
De day ob Liberty's comin'
Shout, black folk, shout and sing
Loud let your voices ring
Soon! soon! de mighty King
Will let His people go
[Chorus]
Just you look and see dat light!
De day ob Liberty's comin', comin'
Almost gone de gloomy night
De day ob Liberty's comin'
