There are two different songs called The Old Country Church and I thought I would post them both for anyone that might want them. I also have the chords for both of these song should anyone want one or both of them please email me at [email protected] , Thank you and May God Bless!

The Old Country Church.....hymn

Verse: 1
There's a place dear to me where I'm longing to be,
with my friends at the old country church,
there with mother we went and our Sundays were spent,
with the friends at the old country church.

Chorus:
Precious years, (precious years) of memory, (sweet memory)
oh what joy, (joy great joy) they bring to me, (they bring to me)
how I long, (how I long) once more to be, (once more to be)
with the friends at the old country church, (country church)

Verse: 2
As a small country boy how my heart beat with joy,
when I knelt in the old country church,
and the Savior above by his wonderful love,
saved my soul in the old country church.

Verse: 3
How I wish that today all the people would pray,
as we prayed in the old country church,
if they'd only confess Jesus surely would bless,
as he did in the old country church.

Verse: 4
Oft my thoughts make me weak for so many now sleep,
in there graves near the old country church,
and sometime I may rest with the friends I love best,
in a grave near the old country church.

This is the other one....

The Old Country Church

Verse: 1
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 heavens ring,
at that old(at that old) country church
Chorus:
Shall we gather at the river, the beautiful, the beautiful river,
gather with the saints at the river that flows by the throne of God.

Verse: 2
Oh I'll never forget at that old country church,
how the glory of the Lord came down(it came down)
and the children would smile, as they shouted down the aisle,
at that old(at that old) country church.
Chorus:
In the sweet by and by, we shall meet on that beautiful shore,
in the sweet by and by, we shall meet on that beautiful shore.

Verse: 3
Then on Sunday to see all my friends so dear to me,
at that old(at that old) country church(country church),
when it came time for prayer, everybody would be there,
at that old (at that old) country church.
Chorus:
Leaning, leaning safe and secure from all alarms,
leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.

Verse: 4
Now the years have gone by and so many have died,
at that old, (at that old) country church(country church),
but they're on the other shore, and they'll sing forever more,
as they did at that old country church.
Chorus:
I am redeemed, by love divine, oh glory, glory, Christ is mine,
all to him I now resign, I have been, I have been redeemed.

I grew up in Miami, Florida. There was a, I think, quartet called The Sound of Truth.. they were amazing and would sing this and other songs that stay with me till this very day. I wish I could find those -8 tracks- LOL again... I have googled any references to them but have had no luclk. Along with Don Francisco and, Merril Womack, and Dave Boyer made a huge impact in my life.
