The Old Country Church G

There's a place near to me where I'm longing to be
With my friends at the old country church
There with mother we went and our Sundays were spent
With my friends at the old country church

---

Precious years of memories
Oh what joy they bring to me
How I long once more to be
With my friends at the old country church

---

As a small country boy how my heart beat with joy
When I knelt in the old country church
And the Savior above by His wonderful love
Saved my soul in the old country church

How I wish that today all the people would pray
As they did at the old country church
If they’d only confess, Jesus surely would bless
As he did at the old country church

Of't my thoughts make me weep for so many now sleep
In their graves near the old country church
And sometime I may rest with the friends I love best
In a grave near the old country church
