Lyrics:

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 my friends at the old country church
Precious years of memories (precious years, sweet memories)
Oh, what joy they bring to me
How I long once more to be (how I long to be)
With my friends at the old country church

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
Precious years of memories (precious years, sweet memories)
Oh, what joy they bring to me
How I long once more to be (how I long to be)
With my friends at the old country church

How I wish that today all the people would pray
As they prayed in the old country church
If they'd only confess
Jesus, surely, would bless
As He did in the old country church
Precious years of memories (precious years, sweet memories)
Oh, what joy they bring to me
How I long once more to be (how I long)
With my friends at the old country church
Precious years of memories (precious years, sweet memories)
Oh, what joy they bring to me
How I long once more to be (how I long)
With my friends at the old country church
With my friends at the old country church
