The Chapel by the Road There's a little country church by the roadside,
And its steeple rises upward to the sky;
O it almost seems to say to the ones who pass this way,
"Come to Jesus! O ye weary passerby!"

Many saints have left this dear familiar chapel
And have gone to worship with the angels fair;
What a day of days for me when my Savior I shall see,
And I'll worship with His children over there!

How I love this little church by the roadside,
For within its humble walls I learned to pray;
I accepted Jesus at its tear stained altar,
Now His presence lingers with me day by day.
