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 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 I'd see all my friends so dear to me
At that Old Country Church. (Country Church)
When they'd knell down 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, where they'll sing forevermore,
As they did at that Old Country Church.

I'm redeemed by love divine. Oh Glory, glory, Christ is mine.
All to Him I now resign. I have been redeemed.
I'm redeemed by love divine. Oh Glory, glory, Christ is mine.
All to Him I now resign. I have been redeemed.
At that old country church.
