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
