Well wife I found [B] the model [F#] church, and worshiped there [C#] today.
It made [F#] me think [B] of the good [F#] old times, before my hair was gray.
The meeting house [B] was [F#] finer built, than they were years [C#] ago.
But I [F#] found out [B] when I [F#] went in, it was not built for show.
The sexton did [B] not sit [F#] me down, away back by [C#] the door.
He knew that [F#] I had been there, and saw that I was poor.
He must have been [B] a Christian [F#] man, he let me follow [C#] him through.
Alone [F#] I'll love,
[B] [F#]
to find a pleasant view.
I wish you'd heard [B] the singing wives, it had the old [C#] time ring.
The preacher [F#] said with [F#] trumpet bow, let all the people sing.
Oh correlation
[B] was the tune, the music [C#] upward rolled.
I thought I heard [B] the [F#] angel choir, strike all their harps of gold.
I'll tell you wife, it [B] did me good, to sing those hymns [C#] once more.
I felt [F#] just like some recluse, who gets a glimpse of show.
It made me want [B] to lay [F#] aside, this weather [C#] beaten for.
And [F#] anchor in [B] that blessed [F#] foe, forever from the stone.
Dear wife the tall, [B] will soon [F#] be old.
The victory's soon [C#] be won.
The [F#] shining strand, is just ahead.
Our race is nearly run.
We're nearly clean, [B] and happy show.
Our hope so bright, [C#]
thank God [F#] we'll [B] never sin [F#] again.
There'll be no sorrow there.
[D#]
There'll be [C#] no sorrow there.
[A#] In [A#m] heaven above, [B] where all is love.
