Text Translation

WALK TOGETHER, CHILDREN
African American spiritual, arr. Moses G. Hogan, Jr.

There’s a great camp meetin’ in the promised lan’.
Oh, walk together, children, don’t you get weary.
Walk on, my children, don’t you get-a weary.
Just walk together, children, don’t you get weary.
There’s a great camp meetin’ in the promised lan’.

Gonna walk an’ never tire,
There’s a great camp meetin’ in the promised lan’.
Gonna sing an’ never tire,
There’s a great camp meetin’ in the promised lan’.
Gonna shout an’ never tire,
There’s a great camp meetin’ in the promised lan’.

Oh, walk together, children, don’t you get weary.
Sing on, my children, don’t you get weary.
Just shout together, children, don’t you get weary.
There’s a great camp meetin’ in the promised lan’.
—African American spiritual
