| Of the wonderful joys that await us when God calls us into His fold | C |
| Who pictured a Heaven unto us as a city with pavements of gold | C |

| The little old fashioned church with never a towering spire | D |
| With never a sign of great wealth and the people who sang in the choir | E |
| Giving their music for love of the cause and not for the sake of their hire | E |

| Perhaps I am wrong or old fashioned or queer but the little gray church on the hill | B |
| Where only God's mercy and love were e'er preached the want in my life seemed to fill | B |
| And I don't get the comfort I seek from the church of today with its frill | B |
