O,
the old sheep know the road / The old sheep know the road / The
young lambs must find
the way
O,
sooner in the morning I rise / With crosses and trials on every
side / My brother, ain't you
got your accounts all sealed? / You'd better go get them before
you leave this field
O,
shout my sister, for you are free / For Christ has bought your
liberty / I really do believe
without one doubt / That the Christian has a mighty right to
shout
My
brother, better mind how to walk on the cross / For your foot
might slip and your soul get
lost / Better mind that sun and see how she runs / And mind,
don't let her catch you with your
work undone
