Lyrics
Oh Enoch he lived to be three-hundred and sixty-five
When the lord came and took him back to heaven alive
- I saw, I saw the light from heaven
- Shining all around
- I saw the light come shining
- I saw the light come down

- Recorded in February 1928 in Ashland, Kentucky. A rare example of the banjo used in a religious tune. This tune contains references to Enoch (Gen 5:21-24), Paul (Acts 16:25-26), Moses (Exo 3:2) and a strange account out of Ezekiel about walking bones (Ezek 37:1-10), not to mention Eve and "Satan a-tempting me."
