Oh! I'd like to go back to that Old Country Church
And to hear the songs of praise (songs of praise)
How the people would sing, it would make the rafters ring
At that Old (at that Old) Country Church
Shall we gather at the river, the beautiful, the beautiful river
Gather with the saints at the river that flows by the throne of God
Oh, I'll never forget at that Old Country Church
how the glory of the Lord came down (It came down)
And the children would smile, as they shouted down the aisle
Of that Old (of that Old) Country Church
In the sweet by and by, we shall meet on that beautiful shore
In the sweet by and by, we shall meet on that beautiful shore
Then on Sunday to see all my friends so dear to me
At that Old Country Church (Country Church)
When it came time for prayer, ev'rybody would be there
At that Old (at that Old) Country Church
Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms
Leaning, leaning, leaning on the Everlasting Arms
Now the years have gone by and so many have died
At that Old— Country Church (Country Church)
But they're on the other shore, and they'll sing forevermore
As they did at that Old Country Church
I'm redeemed by love divine
Glory, glory, Christ is mine
All to Him I now resign
I have been redeemed
