29. The Old Ark

1 Noah built an Ark, he built it on the ground;
My Lord sent rain, to move the ark along.

Chorus:
The old ark 's a-moving, moving, children,
The old ark 's a-moving right along.

2 Daniel in the lion's den,
Sung and prayed in spite of men. [Chorus]

3 Hear me, brethren; hear me, Lord;
Hear me, brethren, serve the Lord. [Chorus]

4 When I was a mourner, just like you,
I mourned and prayed till I got through. [Chorus]

5 I cme here to-night to sing and pray,
I hope it may last till break of day. [Chorus]
