1 See four and twenty Elders on their knees.
See four and twenty Elders on their knees;
And we'll all rise together, and face the risin' sun.
O Lord, have mercy, if you please.

2 They are bowin' roun' the altar on their knees.
They are bowin' roun' the altar on their knees;
And we'll all rise together, and face the risin' sun.
