Songs of Zion ‎#150

150. I'm a-Rolling

Refrain:
I'm a-rolling, I'm a-rolling,
I'm a-rolling thro' an unfriendly world;
I'm a-rolling, I'm a-rolling
thro' an unfriendly world.

1 O brothers, won't you help me,
O brothers, won't you help me to pray?
O brothers, won't you help me,
O brothers, won't you help me
in the service of the Lord? [Refrain]

2 O sisters, won't you help me,
O sisters, won't you help me to pray?
O sisters, won't you help me,
O sisters, won't you help me
in the service of the Lord? [Refrain]

3 O preachers, won't you help me,
O preachers, won't you help me to pray?
O preachers, won't you help me,
O preachers, won't you help me
in the service of the Lord? [Refrain]
