Oh I'd like to go back to that old country church,
to hear the songs of praise,(songs of praise)
how the people would sing, it would make the heavens 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,
at that old(at 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(at that old) country church(country church),
when it came time for prayer, everybody 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, (at that old) country church(country church),
but they're on the other shore, and they'll sing forever more,
as they did at that old country church.
I am redeemed, by love divine, oh glory, glory, Christ is mine,
all to him I now resign, I have been, I have been redeemed.
I am redeemed, by love divine, oh glory, glory, Christ is mine,
all to him I now resign, I have been, I have been redeemed.
at that old, country church
