Do You Want To Be A Lover Of The Lord?- Norfolk Jubilee Quartet 1926 (Some of the back-up response parts vary on the second chorus)
CHORUS: Do you want to be a lover of the Lord, (Thank God Almighty)
Of the Lord, (running from the Devil) of the Lord? (Good God I found Him)
Do you want to be a lover of the Lord? (Thank God Almighty)
Do you want to go to heaven when you die?
CHORUS:
VERSE (slowly): It's Jesus Christ, I want to find,
Pray tell me where he is?
It's Him, my Lord, can heal my mind
And give my conscience peace.
CHORUS: Do you want to be a lover of the Lord, (Thank God Almighty)
Of the Lord, (running from the Devil) of the Lord? (Good God I found Him)
Do you want to be a lover of the Lord? (Thank God Almighty)
Do you want to go to heaven when you die?
VERSE (slowly): If you go down on yonder hill
To sit among the trees.
You'll find him there so I was told
*He'll set your soul at peace.
CHORUS: Do you want to be a lover of the Lord, (Thank God Almighty)
Of the Lord, (running from the Devil) of the Lord? (Good God I found Him)
Do you want to be a lover of the Lord? (Thank God Almighty)
Do you want to go to heaven when you die?
