David Bringing the Ark into Jerusalem
William Brassey Hole (1846–1917)

When Da­vid danced be­fore the Lord,
The ark was com­ing up the road;
His wife des­pised him in her heart;
The ark was com­ing up the road.

Refrain

It’s com­ing, hal­le­lu­jah!
The ark is com­ing up the road;
It’s com­ing, hal­le­lu­jah!
The ark is com­ing up the road.

I do be­lieve with­out a doubt—
The ark is com­ing up the road—
God’s child­ren have a right to shout—
The ark is com­ing up the road.

Refrain

Sing on, pray on, we’re gain­ing ground;
The ark is com­ing up the road;
The pow’r of God is com­ing down;
The ark is com­ing up the road.
