There's a place dear to me where I'm longing to be
With my friends at the ole country church
There with mother we went and our Sundays were spent
With friends at the ole country church
Precious years of memory
Oh, what joy they bring to me
How I long once more to be
With my friends at the ole country church
As a small country boy how my heart beat with joy
When I knelt in the ole country church
And the Saviour above by his wonderful love
Saved my soul in the ole country church
Precious years of memory
Oh, what joy they bring to me
How I long once more to be
With my friends at the ole country church
