Lyrics

Verse
Long ago when but a child at old camp-meeting time
How my heart would leap for joy to hear the old bell chime.
Calling all the saints of God into the House of Prayer
O, such praying, singing, shouting, for the Lord was there.

Chorus
I like the old time preaching, praying, singing, shouting,
I like the old time reading of God’s word.
I like to hear those old time hal-le-lu-jahs, Glory!
I like the old time worship of the Lord.

Verse
Preachers in those good old days were filled with holy flame,
Preaching for the souls of men and not for worldly fame.
Under such old fashioned preaching, sinners fell to pray,
And the Lord would save them in the good old fashioned way.

Chorus
I like the old time preaching, praying, singing, shouting,
I like the old time reading of God’s word.
I like to hear those old time hal-le-lu-jahs, Glory!
I like the old time worship of the Lord.

Chorus
I like the old time preaching, praying, singing, shouting,
I like the old time reading of God’s word.
I like to hear those old time hal-le-lu-jahs, Glory!
I like the old time worship of the Lord.
