a Timeless Classic
Key of C
This is a traditional Gospel song dating from 1873, when it was included in a list of Jubilee songs. It has become a standard in many Protestant hymnals, though it says nothing about Jesus or the gospel.
Includes alternate lyrics
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
It’s good enough for me
It was good for the Hebrew children (repeat)
It’s good enough for me
It was good for our fathers (repeat)
It’s good enough for me
It will take us all to Heaven (repeat)
It’s good enough for me
–
Let us worship Zarathustra
Just the way we used to
I’m a Zarathustra booster
He’s good enough for me
Let us worship Aphrodite
She’s beautiful but flighty
She doesn’t wear a nightie
But she’s good enough for me
