Words to "Yonder Come Day"

Does anybody know the words to a not so popular Negro spirtual, "Yonder Come Day". I believe it comes from the Georgia Sea Islands. The words I know to the song are as follows:

Oh day/ Yonder come day (repeat)
Oh day/ Yonder come day/ Day done rolled/ In a my soul
Yonder come day

On the mountain/ Yonder come day
My God spoke/ Yonder come day
Out His mouth came/ Yonder come day
Fire and smoke/ Yonder come day

I'm pretty sure there are more verses. I don't know where to begin research on African-American spirtuals (I'm really a chemist). If anybody can help me, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Please e-mail me the answer to [email protected]
