Hymns of the Old Church Choir

VERSE 1The sunset light was fading,As by an old church door,I pondered on the dear old hymns,I’d heard in days of yore;Like angel voices whisp’ring,In twilight shadows dim,The old church choir sung sweetly,Full many a long-loved hymn. REFRAIN“Nearer, my God, to Thee”I heard the old choir sing;“Hosana in the Highest!”The sacred echoes ring;“Holy! Holy! Holy!”Hear the strains rise higher!“Rock of Ages Cleft for Me;”Were the hymns of the old church choir. VERSE 2In fancy here with mother,In days of long ago,We listen to the old church hymns,In twilight’s after glow;The shadows, softly falling,Have brought a solemn spell;Again we hear in silence,The hymns she loved so well.
