Growing up, my father used to sing that song nearly every Sunday. It's funny how old gospel tunes like that were passed down tverbally and seem to change depending on the circles in which they're sung. My dad used to sing verses 1 & 2, as well as the verse posted Sept. 14 about the Old fashioned preacher. I've never heard of verse 3. Instead he used to sing a verse that neither of you mentioned:
Well there were no fine dressed people
just plain folk everywhere.
With them plain ole fashioned ruffles, frocks and frills.
They had no form or fashion.
Just plain ole spirit filled.
In that little wooden church on the hill.
