[F#] Well wife I found a model church And worshipped [C#] there today
[F#] It made me think of the good old times Before my hair was gray
The meeting house [B] [F#] was finer built Than they were years [C#] ago
[F#] But I found out when I went in It was not built for show
The [C#] sexton did not set me down Away back [C#] by the door
He knew that I [F#] was old and dead And so that I was poor
He must have been a Christian man He led me [C#] boldly through
The long aisle [F#] of that crowded church To find the pleasant view
I wish you'd heard the singing wives [C#] It had the old time ring
[F#] The preacher said with trumpet's voice Let all the people sing
Oh coronation was the tune The music of [C#] purple gold
I thought I heard [F#] the angel choir Strike on their harps of gold
I'll tell [C#] you [F#] wife it did me good To sing those hymns once more
[C#] I felt just [F#] like some rec marie Who gets a glimpse of shore
It made me want to lay aside This weathered beaten foe
[F#] And anchor in that blessed foe Forever from the storm
[C#] Dear wife the toil [F#] will soon be o'er The victory [C#m] soon be [C#] won
[F#] The shining strand is just ahead Our race is nearly run
We're near [B] [F#] Canaan's happy shore Our home so [C#] bright and fair
Thank [F#] God we'll never sin again There'll be no sorrow there
[N] There'll be no sorrow there In heaven above [B] where all is [D#] love
There'll be no sorrow [F#] there
[F#] It made me think of the good old times Before my hair was gray
The meeting house [B] [F#] was finer built Than they were years [C#] ago
[F#] But I found out when I went in It was not built for show
The [C#] sexton did not set me down Away back [C#] by the door
He knew that I [F#] was old and dead And so that I was poor
He must have been a Christian man He led me [C#] boldly through
The long aisle [F#] of that crowded church To find the pleasant view
I wish you'd heard the singing wives [C#] It had the old time ring
[F#] The preacher said with trumpet's voice Let all the people sing
Oh coronation was the tune The music of [C#] purple gold
I thought I heard [F#] the angel choir Strike on their harps of gold
I'll tell [C#] you [F#] wife it did me good To sing those hymns once more
[C#] I felt just [F#] like some rec marie Who gets a glimpse of shore

There'll be no sorrow [F#] there
