The Old Fashioned Meeting

Oh, how well I remember in the old-fashioned days,
When some old-fashioned people had some old-fashioned ways;
In the old-fashioned meetings,as they tarried there,
In the old-fashioned manner,
How God answered their prayer.

CHORUS
Twas an old-fashioned meeting,
In an old-fashioned place,
Where some old-fashioned people had some old-fashioned grace:
As an old-fashioned sinner I began to pray,
And God heard me,and saved me in the old-fashioned way.

There was singing,such singing of those old-fashioned airs!
There was power, such power in those old-fashioned prayers,
An old-fashioned conviction made the sinner pray,
And the Lord,heard and saved him,
In the old-fashioned way.

CHORUS
Twas an old-fashioned meeting,
In an old-fashioned place,
Where some old-fashioned people had some old-fashioned grace:
As an old-fashioned sinner I began to pray,
And God heard me,and saved me in the old-fashioned way.

Well, they say it is better,Things have changed don't you know,
And the people in general,seem to think it is so;
And they call me old-fashioned when I dare to say,
That I like it far better in the old-fashioned way.

CHORUS
Twas an old-fashioned meeting,
In an old-fashioned place,
Where some old-fashioned people had some old-fashioned grace:
As an old-fashioned sinner I began to pray,
And God heard me,and saved me in the old-fashioned way.

If the Lord never changes,as the fashions of men,
If He's always the same, why,
He is old-fashioned then!
As an old-fashioned sinner saved thro^ old time grace,
Oh, I'm sure He will take me to an old-fashioned place.

CHORUS
Twas an old-fashioned meeting,
In an old-fashioned place,
Where some old-fashioned people had some old-fashioned grace:
As an old-fashioned sinner I began to pray,
And God heard me,and saved me in the old-fashioned way.
