American Old Time Song Lyrics: 41 The Little Church Around The Corner

Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 41

The Little Church Around the Corner.
Words by George Cooper. Music by D. S. Wambold.

God bless the little church around the corner,
The shrine of holy charity and love;
Its doors are ever open unto sorrow,
A blessing fall upon it from above.
The rich and poor are equal 'neath its portals,
And be our path in life whate'er it may,
No heart that needed comfort In affliction
Was ever turned uncomforted away.
Chorus.
God bless the church! God bless the church!
The little church around the corner;
Its doors are ever open unto sorrow,
A blessing fall upon it from above.

God bless the little church around the corner,
No matter what the creed that it may bear
However we may differ in opinion,
The warmth of Christian sympathy is there!
A word of hope and kindliness awaits as,
When clouds of sorrow hover overhead;
With needed words of pity for the living,
And rev'rence for the cold and silent dead.- Chorus.

God bless the little church around the corner,
And keep its hallowed mem'ry ever green!
O, like a lily growing by the wayside,
It smiles upon life's ever busy scene!
It points the way to realms of joy unfading,
And bears of love a never ending store;
God bless the little church around the corner!
God bless the little church forever more.- Chorus,
