Down in the River to Pray

As I went 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!
 O sisters, let's go down,
 Let's go down, come on down
 O sisters, let's go down
 Down in the river to pray
 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!
 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
 As I went 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!
 O fathers, let's go down
 Let's go down, come on down
 O fathers, let's go down
 Down in the river to pray
 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!
 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
 As I went 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!
 O sinners, let's go down
 Let's go down, come on down
 O sinners, let's go down
 Down in the river to pray
 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!
