Lyrics 'Tis a great religion that our fathers knew, 'Tis a great religion and we love it too, Whether living or dying it will stand the test, Who accepts this gospel will be truly blest. It will give you comfort when your heart feels sad; It will keep you singing when your life is glad, All the doubters must wonder when they see its pow'r, 'Tis a precious passport for the last great hour. 'Tis a great religion that our fathers knew, All the way to heaven it will help us thro', God has planned it to satisfy each human need, It is bound to conquer ev'ry other creed. Chorus: 'Tis a great religion, a great religion, Of full atonement and salvation free; 'Tis a great religion, a great religion, Living or dying, it just suits me.
