Poor Mourner’s Got a Home at Last
SATB choir, unaccompanied
Negro Spiritual
There is deep lamentation in the chromatic tones of this piece and yet the seeds of hope can be found as it climbs into the heights. Tastefully arranged, this little-known spiritual captures the warm tones of assurance at the heart of this bittersweet song. (Publisher description)
Hm, my Lord!
Hm, poor mourner’s got a home at last.
No harm, Lord, no harm.
Poor mourner’s got a home at last.
Oh, sinner, ain’t you tired of sinning?
Bow down on-a your knees and join the band with the angels.
