The Family Who Prays Lyrics

(Ira Louvin/Charles Louvin)
recorded 9/30/52
Ira Louvin vocals, mandolin
Charlie Louvin vocals, guitar
Chet Atkins electric guitar
Eddie Hill (probably) rhythm guitar
Floyd T. "Lightning" Chance bass
The Family who prays
Will never be parted
Their circle in heaven unbroken shall stand
God will say "enter, my good faithful servants"
The family who prays
Never shall part
Satan has parted fathers and mothers
Filling their hearts with his envy and hate
Heading their pathways down to destruction
Leaving their children like orphans to stray
Wars and Tornadoes are taking our loved ones
Leaving us tearful with sad aching hearts
But we shall join them over the river
For the family who prays
Never shall part
