D                                     G         D
There's a place dear to me where I'm longing to be
                                    A7
With my friends at the old country church
            D                       G           D
There with mother we went, and our Sundays were spent
                       A7          D
With my friends at the old country church



   Precious years of memory's
            A7               D
   Oh what joy they bring to me
                           G 
   How I long once more to be
            D              A7          D
   With my friends at the old country church


                                G               D
As a small country boy, how my heart beat with joy
                               A7
As I knelt at the old country church
D                              G         D
There with Jesus above in his wonderful love
                      A7          D
Saved my soul at 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
