Rise up sister don't you cry
There's be good time by and by
Pharaoh's army get drowned
Oh, Mary don't you weep.

One on morning but four o' clok
this old town is gonna really rock
Pharaoh's army get drowned
Oh, Mary don't you weep.

Satan's mad but I'm glad
Missed my soul he thought he had
Pharaoh's army get drowned
Oh, Mary don't you weep.

Oh, Mary don't weep don't you mourn.
Oh, Mary don't weep don't you mourn.
Pharaoh's army get drowned
Oh, Mary don't you weep.

Se il cuore soffre dimentica tutto, se il cuore teme sente solo paura:
invochiamo una buona notizia, ci sia un annuncio che porta la gioia.
Sia come la luce che, dopo la notte, esplode con forza e cancella l'angoscia:
davanti all'alba scompare la morte, gli oscuri timori son già svaniti.
