186. The Old-fashioned Meeting

O 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.

'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 in 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.

'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's old-fashioned then!  As an old-fashioned Christian I will dare to say, that I like it far better in the old-fashioned way.

'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.
