He sang in the Old Church Choir

�Twas Easter Sunday morning,
To the village I had gone;
My boyhood home where lived the ones I loved;
At the church the preacher spoke the Word,
The choir sang sweetly, too,
And in their midst an old man sang
The old songs good and true;
His voice was sweet and tender,
I seem to hear him yet
Sing again an old refrain I never will forget.

Refrain

How he sang in the old church choir
Olden songs, golden songs of a bygone day,
Sweet songs of gladness, songs, too, of sadness
That carried me far, far away,
And I longed in my soul for that heavenly goal
That he sang of so sweetly in those songs:
�Lead Kindly Light amid th�encircling gloom�
And �Rock of Ages cleft for me.�
Those were the songs, the old golden songs
That he sang in the old church choir.

So here�s a simple lesson
Of the good that we can do
To help our fellow men along the way;
Just a word of cheer to those we meet
May ease an aching heart,
A song may save two souls that otherwise might drift apart.
Still in my memr�y that lingers
That singer and his song.
Sweet and low, so long ago,
To hear his voice I long.

Refrain
