Oak Grove Church

歌詞

There's an old church so dear, standing lonesome and still And in memory it's still to me A place still so sweet for I heard as a boy The old hymn Near my God to thee * Refrain There I heard Daddy pray and I heard Mother sing With the tears runing down their face Many now have passed on, who's souls there were saved While we all sang Amazing Grace * Refrain There is still an Oak Grove where I played as a boy And I'm sure there is still a well And I know every spring sweetly still the birds sing Some will nest in the old church bell * Refrain Oh, the wonderful, beautiful memories untold Oh, the m-e-m-o-r-i-e-s, untold Of an old fashioned church, yes Oak Grove Church of old Oak g-r-o-v-e Church of old Will live on till the end of time For my wonderful, heavenly Saviour was there S-a-v-i-o-r was there Each time, yes each time that old church bell would toll Each time the bell tolled Looking for his lost sheep to find
