My Lord, what a morning
My Lord, what a morning
My Lord, what a morning
When the stars begin to fall
You'll hear the trumpet sounding
You'll hear the trumpet sounding
You'll hear the trumpet sounding
When the stars begin to fall
They'll wake the nations underground
They'll wake the nations underground
They'll wake the nations underground
When the stars begin to fall
Oh, sinners, what will you do?
Oh, sinners, what will you do?
Oh, sinners, what will you do?
When the stars begin to fall
You'll shout and pray for victory
You'll shout and pray for victory
You'll shout and pray for victory
When the stars begin to fall
There'll be no victory
There'll be no victory, Lord
There'll be no victory, Lord
When the stars begin to fall
My Lord, what a morning
My Lord, what a morning
My Lord, what a morning
When the stars begin to fall
My Lord, what a morning

When the stars begin to fall
They'll wake the nations underground
They'll wake the nations underground
They'll wake the nations underground
When the stars begin to fall
Oh, sinners, what will you do?
Oh, sinners, what will you do?
Oh, sinners, what will you do?
When the stars begin to fall
You'll shout and pray for victory
You'll shout and pray for victory
You'll shout and pray for victory
When the stars begin to fall
There'll be no victory
There'll be no victory, Lord
There'll be no victory, Lord
When the stars begin to fall
My Lord, what a morning
My Lord, what a morning
My Lord, what a morning
When the stars begin to fall

Segnalo dall'articolo gia' citato ( History of Hymns: 'My Lord, What a Morning' BY C. MICHAEL HAWN ) alcuni evidenti riferimenti biblici di immagini apocalittiche del testo oltre alle 2 possibili trascrizioni del titolo.
History of Hymns: 'My Lord, What a Morning' ( The United Methodist Church ).
“MORNING” OR “MOURNING”
The accepted spelling of these homonyms in most hymnals today is “morning.” A case can be made either way, however. Matthew 24:29-31, an apparent scriptural source for the spiritual, offers a defense for “mourning”:
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other ( Bible - King James Version ).
