Down To The River To Pray

1. 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!

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

2. 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!

Oh 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.

5. 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.
