Well it was in, my childhood days, O Lord too many, many long years ago,
Now with the spirit, now of My Saviour, I was filled, Lord filled,
Oh in that old fashion meeting, O Lord a memory it lingers still,
In that little, oh that wooden church out, out on a hill.
Good Lord, every, every Sunday morning, Hail, when we had the family prayer,
Then into that old country wagon oh would fill, oh Lord, oh, would fill
Well, we'd start out on our journey, moving over rocks, God knows and rive’s,
To that little, oh that wooden church out, out on a hill.
Well when that old, old fashioned preacher, Oh Lord give out “We’ll meet again”
Then every heart friend now with the Holy Ghost oh would fill, oh Lord, oh would fill,
Well people they would be shouting, please my God I hear them still
In that little, oh that wooden church out, out on a hill.
