‘Down by the Riverside’
Down by the Riverside–we used to sing it at Y Camp.
We have to pray for peace and work for it. Here Grandpa Elliott leads singers and musicians from all over the world in this beloved traditional hymn.
Memory Lane: ‘Down By The Riverside’
We used to sing this at YMCA camp–practically sang the roof off the mess hall. We didn’t have the immortal Louis Armstrong with his horn, but we did the best we could. I don’t know what brought this spiritual into my mind today, but I’m glad it did. And it’s great when you’re around the campfire.
By Request, ‘Down by the Riverside’
Is this really a hymn? Well, surely its intent is spiritual. It echoes Isaiah 2:4 (“neither shall they learn war anymore”). And once upon a time, we used to sing it at Y Camp.
Requested by Ina, Down by the Riverside, performed by Louis Armstrong.
