Down To The River To Pray Songtext

[cho] As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way !

[2] O brothers let's go down,
Let's go down, come on down,
Come on brothers let's go down,
Down in the river to pray.

Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way !

[3] O fathers let's go down,
Let's go down, come on down,

Down in the river to pray.

Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way !

[4] O mothers let's go down,
Let's go down, don't you want to go down,
Come on mothers let's go down,
Down in the river to pray.

Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way !

Let's go down, come on down,
O sinners let's go down,
Down in the river to pray.

Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way !
