28. As I Went Down in the River to Pray

Refrain:
As I went down in the valley to pray,
studying about that good old way,
and who shall wear the starry crown,
Good Lord, show me the way!

O fathers let's go down, down in the river to pray. [Refrain]

4 O mothers, let's go down, let's go down, come on down.
O mothers let's go down, down in the river to pray. [Refrain]

5 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. [Refrain]
