Day 309 of the American Songbag Stay-at-Home Series
This is the last song in Carl Sandburg's 1927 THE AMERICAN SANDBURG, which collects 321 songs.
This is Sandburg's arrangement of lines and airs from five black spirituals that have for many years given musical enjoyment and spiritual sustenance (the first verse is "Ezekiel Saw the Wheel," the second is from "Keep A-Inchin' Along," the third is "Standing in the Need of Prayer," the fourth is "Chilly Water", the last probably derived from "Sowing on the Mountain")
This is based on Ezekiel's vision in Ezekiel 1.
