Four and Twenty Elders

Traditional, recorded on Bound to Go.

See four and twenty elders on their knees
Four and twenty elders on their knees
And we’ll all rise together and view the rising sun
Oh Lord, have mercy if you please

They are bowing round the altar on their knees
Bowing round the altar on their knees
And we’ll all rise together and view the rising sun
Oh Lord, have mercy if you please

See Gideon’s army bowing on their knees
See Gideon’s army bowing on their knees
And we’ll all rise together and view the rising sun
Oh Lord, have mercy if you please

See Daniel among the lions on his knees
Daniel among the lions on his knees
And we’ll all rise together and view the rising sun
Oh Lord, have mercy if you please
