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

'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]

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]

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

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

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

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