Lyrics
(African American Spiritual)
1. Mary and Martha just gone along, (repeat twice)
To ring those charming bells;
Crying, free grace and dying love, (repeat twice)
To ring those charming bells.
Oh way over Jordan, Lord (repeat twice)
To ring those charming bells.
2. Preacher and the elder just gone along…
