No. 91. Oh Yes! Oh Yes!

I come this night to sing and pray,
Oh Yes! oh yes!
To drive old Satan away,
Oh Yes! oh yes!
That heavenly home is bright and fair,
Oh yes! oh yes!
But very few can enter there,
Oh yes! oh yes!

Chorus:
Oh, wait until I get on my robe,
Wait until I get on my robe,
Wait until I get on my robe,
Oh yes! oh yes!

2
As I went down in the valley to pray,
Oh yes!
I met old Satan on the way,
Oh yes!
And what do you think he said to me,
Oh yes!
"You're too young to pray, and too young to die,"
Oh yes!
3
If you want to catch that heavenly breeze,
Oh yes!
Go down in the valley on your knees,
Oh yes!
Go. bow your knees upon the ground,
Oh yes!
And ask your Lord to turn you round,
Oh yes!
