A gospel version by William Stickles, 1948.

Lyr. Add: DOWN BY THE RIVER SIDE (Stickles)

Oh, hallelujah to the lamb
Down by the river
The Lord is on the Givinghand
Down by the riverside.

Oh, we'll wait 'till Jesus comes
Down by the river

Oh, we are all pilgrims here below
Down by the river
Oh, soon to glory we will go
Down by the riverside.

Oh, we'll wait 'till Jesus comes
Down by the river
Oh, we'll wait 'till Jesus comes
Down by the riverside.

Down by the river
