One day as I was walkin' along I heard the angels singing I heard a voice and I saw no one I heard the angels singing What you reckon he said to me I heard the angels singing Said my sins are forgiven and my soul set free I heard the angels singing Well, the Holy Ghost on fire fell on me You ought to have been there when he fell on me Then I got in the spirit and I began to shout People come a running, miles around People wondering what it was all about Went down in the valley one day just to pray Met old Satan down on my way What you reckon that old rascal said to me
He said I was too old to die and too young to pray I went on down, didn't pay no mind what he said Made Satan out a liar and I stayed all day Went down in the valley, fell down on my knees I said, Lord help me if you please One morning soon, just awhile before day One morning soon, just awhile before day One morning soon, just awhile before day I heard the angels singing, I heard the angels singing Down by my bedside I was down on my knees Down by my bedside I was down on my knees Down by my bedside I was down on my knees I heard the angels singing, I heard the angels singing
