Mickey Hart Band The Sermon lyrics

Beyond the blue horizon
Down the Old Plank Road
Or down the ways a bit I can
Set down my heavy load
I do believe what I believe
Out standing in the rain
That if I ask I shall receive
A ticket on that train

I do believe
I do believe
To give is to receive
I do believe

Is that train bound for glory
Or some kind of rendevous
With all my long gone partners
I can't say, no more can you
Or does it roll to darkness
Down some promontory grade
I got my hopes, you got yours
That love will never fade

I do believe
I do believe
To give is to receive
I do believe

Chorus of the bells come
Winging through the breeze
Knocked the unbeliever
Down upon his knees
Lifted the oppressed to
A land above the trees
Of peace & sweet felicity
As pleasant as you please


I do believe / I do believe
To give is to receive / I do believe

bridge:(traditional song “Down the Old Plank Road”)
Haul off your overcoat & roll up your sleeves
Jordan is a hard road to travel
Haul off your overcoat & roll up your sleeves
Jordan is a hard road to travel I believe

Teach me how to do to others
As I would be done
Right down to the finish line
& still have time for fun
To clothe the ragged, feed the poor,
And all that high tone jazz
As though my life depended on,
Till I find out it has

I do believe
I shall receive
Everything I need
I do believe

Is this train bound for glory
Or some kind of rendevous
With all my long gone partners
I can't say, no more can you
Or does it roll to darkness
Down some promontory grade
I got my hopes, you got yours
That love will never fade
