How I like the old time preachin', prayin', singin', shoutin'
How I like the old time readin' of God's words
How I like to hear that old time hallelujah glory
How I like the old time worship of the Lord

Long ago when just a child at old camp meetin' time
How my heart would beat with joy to hear the old bell chime
Callin' all the saints of God onto the house of prayer
Oh, such prayin', singin', shoutin' for the Lord was there

How I like the old time preachin', prayin', singin', shoutin'
How I like the old time readin' of God's words
How I like to hear that old time hallelujah glory
How I like the old time worship of the Lord

Preachin' in them good old days was still a holy claim
Preachin' for the souls of men and not for wordly fame
Under such old-fashion preachin', sinners knelt to pray
And the Lord would save them in that good old-fashion way

How I like the old time preachin', prayin', singin', shoutin'
How I like the old time readin' of God's words
How I like to hear that old time hallelujah glory
How I like the old time worship of the Lord
