Down By The Riverside Swing Low, Sweet Chariot Steal Away Home To Jesus Go Tell IT On The Mountain |
DOWN BY THE RIVERSIDE
(public domain)
I'm gonna lay down my burden, down by the riverside,
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside
I'm gonna lay down my burden, down by the riverside,
I'm gonna study war no more
I ain't a gonna study war no more, I ain't a gonna study war no more
I ain't a gonna study war no more, I ain't a gonna study war no more
I ain't a gonna study war no more, I ain't a gonna study war no more
Well, I'm gonna put on my long white robe, (Where?) down by the riverside (Oh)
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside
I'm gonna put on my long white robe, (Where?) down by the riverside
I'm gonna study war no more
I ain't a gonna study war no more, I ain't a gonna study war no more
I ain't a gonna study war no more, I ain't a gonna study war no more
I ain't a gonna study war no more, I ain't a gonna study war no more
Well, I'm gonna lay down my sword and shield, (Where?) down by the riverside
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside
I'm gonna lay down my sword and shield, (A-ha) down by the riverside
I'm gonna study war no more
I ain't a gonna study war no more, I ain't a gonna study war no more
I ain't a gonna study war no more, I ain't a gonna study war no more
I ain't a gonna study war no more, I ain't a gonna study war no more

STEAL AWAY TO JESUS
Spiritual Southern Plantation Melody
Verse 1
My Lord calls me;
He calls me by the thunder;
The trumpet sounds within a my soul
I ain't got long to stay here.
Chorus:
Steal away, steal away
Steal away to Jesus.
Seal away, Steal away home;
I ain't got long to stay here.
Verse 2
Green trees are bending;
Poor sinner stands a trembling;
The trumpet sounds within a my soul;
I ain't got long to stay here.
Verse 3
Tomb stones are bursting;
Poor sinner stands a trembling:
The trumpet sounds within a my soul:
I ain't got long to stay here.
Verse 4
My Lord calls me,
He calls me by the lightening;
The trumpet sounds within a my soul:
I ain't got long to stay here.

Go Tell It On the Mountain
Chorus:
Go tell it on the mountain,
O'er the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born.
When I was a sinner
I prayed both day and night.
I asked the Lork to help me
And He showed me the way.
(chorus)
When I was a seeker
I sought both night and day.
I asked the Lord to help me
And he taught me to pray.
(chorus)
He made me a watchman
Up on the city wall.
And if I am a christian
I am the least of all.
(chorus)
