[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 my friends at the old country church
[Chorus]
Precious years (Precious years) of memories (Sweet memories)
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 my friends at the old 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
[Chorus]
Precious years (Precious years) of memories (Sweet memories)
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 my friends at the old country church
