Down to the River to Pray lyrics

As I went down in the river to pray

Studying about that good ol' 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 ol' way

And who shall wear the robe & 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 ol' 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 ol' way

And who shall wear the robe & crown?

Good Lord, show me the way!

O mothers, let's go down

Come on down, don't you wanna 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 ol' 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 ol' way

And who shall wear the robe & crown?

Good Lord, show me the way!
