1 It was good for our mothers,
It was good for our mothers,
It was good for our mothers,
And it's good enough for me.

Chorus:
'Tis the old time religion,
'Tis the old time religion,
'Tis the old time religion,
And it's good enough for me.

2 Makes me love everybody,
Makes me love everybody,
Makes me love everybody,
Makes me love everybody. [Chorus]

3 It has saved our fathers,
It has saved our fathers,
It has saved our fathers,
It has saved our fathers. [Chorus]

4 It was good for the prophet Daniel,
It was good for the prophet Daniel,
It was good for the prophet Daniel
It was good for the prophet Daniel. [Chorus]

5 It was good for the Hebrew children,
It was good for the Hebrew children,
It was good for the Hebrew children,
It was good for the Hebrew children. [Chorus]

6 It was tried in the fiery furnace,
It was tried in the fiery furnace,
It was tried in the fiery furnace,
It was tried in the fiery furnace. [Chorus]

7 It was good for Paul and Silas,
It was good for Paul and Silas,
It was good for Paul and Silas,
It was good for Paul and Silas. [Chorus]

8 It will do when I'm dying,
It will do when I'm dying,
It will do when I'm dying,
It will do when I'm dying. [Chorus]

9 It will take us all to heaven,
It will take us all to heaven,
It will take us all to heaven,
It will take us all to heaven. [Chorus]
