Down To The River To Pray
(Down In The River To Pray)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSif77IVQdY




As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way


O sisters let's go down
Let's go down, come on down
O sisters let's go down
Down in the river to pray


As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way


O brothers let's go down
Let's go down, come on down
Come on brothers let's go down
Down in the river to pray


As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way


O fathers let's go down
Let's go down, come on down
O fathers let's go down
Down in the river to pray


As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way


O mothers let's go down, come on down
Don't you want to go down
Come on mothers let's go down
Down in the river to pray


As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way


O sinners let's go down
Let's go down, come on down
O sinners let's go down
Down in the river to pray


As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way


當我走下河裡去禱告
學習那美好古老的道
還有誰將戴上那閃亮的冠冕(長袍和皇冠)
良善的主,指引我那條道路


喔,姊妹們讓我們下去,
讓我們下去,一起下去,
喔,姊妹們讓我們下去,
下到河裡去禱告。
(弟兄們、父老們、母親們、罪人們)




分享:
這是首古老的美國傳統聖詩,可能源自於黑奴時期的黑人靈歌。
這類聖詩的歌詞與旋律都非常質樸,
但是,常常能撼動人心深處。
這首能廣為人知,主要是因為美國當代福音女歌手Alison Krauss唱紅所致。


這首聖詩採取的是無伴奏模式,
單純使用人聲,
這樣最能達成那種感動人的氣氛。
(其實,很多黑人靈歌的聖詩都是這樣,
採取無伴奏,或是很簡單的伴奏,
用最原始的人聲,來唱出信仰之聲)


由於本首聖詩英文非常簡單、旋律也很容易上口,
其實教會詩班或領唱,有時可以把這首聖詩放入選項。


以下就不多說,大家自己欣賞。
有時,美好的聖詩,自己就會感動人心,不須過多的講述。

(Alison Krauss演唱的版本。圖片也非常切合這首聖詩要表達的意境)
