Down to 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.

 Studying about that good old way

 Good Lord, show me the way!

 Come on mothers let's go down,
 Down in the river to pray.
