Oh I'd like to go back
to that old country church
To hear the songs of praise
How the people would sing
it would make the rafters ring
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
And the children would smile
As they shouted
down the aisle
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 I'd see
all my friends dear to me
At that old country church
When it came time for prayer
everybody would be there
At that old country church
Leanin' leanin'
Safe and secure from all alarm
Leanin' leanin'
Leanin' on the everlastin' arms
Now the years have gone by
And so many have died
at that old country church
But they're on
the other shore
Where they'll sing forevermore
As they did
at that old country church
I'm redeemed
My love divine
Glory glory
Christ is mine
All to him
I now resign
I have been redeemed
I'm redeemed
My love divine
Glory glory
Christ is mine
All to him
I now resign
I have been redeemed
At that old country church
