"My Lord What a Morning" is a traditional Negro spiritual that is essentially a recreation of the hymn “Behold the Awful Trumpet Sounds" which was first published in Richard Allen’s 1801 hymnal A Collection of Spiritual Songs and Hymns Selected from Various Authors by Richard Allen, African Minister. A verse from the original hymn includes:           Behold the awful trumpet sounds,           The sleeping dead to raise,           And calls the nations underground:           O how the saints will praise! . . . It was arranged and adapted for performance by Harry Burleigh and the melody is known as "Burleigh" when it appears in hymnals including ELCA's With One Voice. It is included in 29 hymnals. It was recorded by Marian Anderson, Joan Baez, Burl Ives and many choirs and choruses.
