[Verse 1]
I'm going to lay down my sword and shield
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Going to lay down my sword and shield
Down by the riverside
To study war no more

[Chorus]
I'm going to study war no more
Going to study war no more
I'm going to study war no more
I'm going to study war no more
Going to study war no more
I'm going to study war no more

[Verse 2]
Going to put on my starry crown
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Going to put on my starry crown
Down by the riverside
To study war no more
[Chorus]
I'm going to study war no more
Going to study war no more
I'm going to study war no more
I'm going to study war no more
Going to study war no more
I'm going to study war no more

[Verse 3]
Going to sit down at Jesus' feet
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Going to sit down at Jesus' feet
Down by the riverside
To study war no more

[Chorus]
I'm going to study war no more
Going to study war no more
I'm going to study war no more
I'm going to study war no more
Going to study war no more
I'm going to study war no more

[Verse 4]
Going to meet my loving Jesus
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Going to meet my loving Jesus
Down by the riverside
To study war no more
[Chorus]
I'm going to study war no more
Going to study war no more
I'm going to study war no more
I'm going to study war no more
Going to study war no more
I'm going to study war no more
