Oh, brudder, how d'ye feel, when ye come out de wilderness,

Leanin' on de Lord?

Then, in another, hear how our foreparents broke through all the deceptions and allurements of false wealth, and in their long days of weariness expressed their faith in a place where every day would be one of rest:

Oh, religion is a fortune,

I r'a'ly do believe.

Oh, religion is a fortune,

I r'a'ly do believe.

Oh, religion is a fortune,

I r'a'ly do believe,

Whar Sabbaths hab no end.
