Hank Williams - The Old Country Church Lyrics

Lyrics

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 from 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, of that old country church

In the sweet bye and bye
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
In the sweet bye and bye
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 we'd kneel down to prayer
Everybody would be there
At that old country church

Leaning (leaning), leaning (I'm leaning)
Safe and secure from all alarm
Leaning (leaning leaning), leaning (I'm leaning)
Leaning on the everlasting arm

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 forever more
As they did at that old country church

I'm redeemed (Oh I'm redeemed) by Love Divine (by Love Divine)
Oh glory glory (Christ is mine), Christ is mine (Christ is mine)
All to Him (All to him) I now resign (I now resign)
(I have been) I have been redeemed!

I'm redeemed (Oh I'm redeemed) by Love Divine (by Love Divine)
Oh glory glory (Christ is mine), Christ is mine (Christ is mine)
All to Him (All to him) I now resign (I now resign)
(I have been) I have been redeemed

At that old country church

I'm redeemed (Oh I'm redeemed) by Love Divine (by Love Divine)
Oh glory glory (Christ is mine), Christ is mine (Christ is mine)
All to Him (All to him) I now resign (I now resign)
(I have been) I have been redeemed!

I'm redeemed (Oh I'm redeemed) by Love Divine (by Love Divine)
Oh glory glory (Christ is mine), Christ is mine (Christ is mine)
All to Him (All to him) I now resign (I now resign)
(I have been) I have been redeemed!

At that old country church
