Author: Mrs. Frank A. Breck Hymnal: United Praise #122 (1908) First Line: My childhood faith had been forgot Refrain First Line: 'Tis the old-time religion Lyrics: 1 My childhood faith had been forgot, The voice of conscience stilled, The joy of life had fled away, My heart with doubt was filled; And then I heard a gentle voice That all my being stirred, For borne upon the evening breeze, And old-time song was heard: Refrain: ‘Tis the old time religion, ‘Tis the old time religion, ‘Tis the old time religion, And it’s good enough for me. 2 I listened with a troubled heart, And mem’ry came to chide, That I had let the good depart, And sin with me abide; How sweet the tones that rose and fell With accents soft and low, In that dear song I knew so well, In days of long ago: [Refrain] 3 I called to mind the blessed time Of childhood free from care, When I believed my mother’s God, And knelt with her in pray’r, The old time truth came back to stay And make my spirit free, I trod with joy the old time way, For faith returned to me! [Refrain] Tune Title: [My childhood faith had been forgot]
