Down to the River to Pray

As I went down in the river to pray, studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown, good Lord, show me the way
Oh sisters let’s go down, let’s go down, come on down
Oh sisters let’s go down, down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray, studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown, good Lord, show me the way
Oh brothers let’s go down, let’s go down, come on down
Come on brothers let’s go down, down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray, studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown, good Lord, show me the way
Oh fathers let’s go down, let’s go down, come on down
Oh fathers let’s go down, down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray, studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown, good Lord, show me the way
Oh mothers let’s go down, come on down, don’t you wanna go down
Come on mothers let’s go down, down in the river to pray

Down in the river to pray, studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown, good Lord, show me the way
Oh sinners let’s go down, let’s go down, come on down
Oh sinners let’s go down, down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray, studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown, good Lord, show me the way

    I love this song. We just went to a weekend learning about 4 part harmony and this was one of the songs we practiced!
    Be blessed!
