The Country Faith

The Country Faith

Here in the country’s heartWhere the grass is green,Life is the same sweet lifeAs it e’er hath beenTrust in a God still lives,And the bell at mornFloats with a thought of GodO’er the rising corn.God comes down in the rain,And the crop grows tall—This is the country faith,And the best of all.

Here in the country’s heartWhere the grass is green,Life is the same sweet lifeAs it e’er hath been

Here in the country’s heart

Where the grass is green,

Life is the same sweet life

As it e’er hath been

Trust in a God still lives,And the bell at mornFloats with a thought of GodO’er the rising corn.

Trust in a God still lives,

And the bell at morn

Floats with a thought of God

O’er the rising corn.

God comes down in the rain,And the crop grows tall—This is the country faith,And the best of all.

God comes down in the rain,

And the crop grows tall—

This is the country faith,

And the best of all.
