Down To The River To Pray - The King's Singers

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.

Studying about that good old way

And who shall wear the starry crown

Good Lord, show me the way!

Studying about that good old way

And who shall wear the robe and crown

Good Lord, show me the way!

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,

Down in the river to pray.
