| The Country Faith |
| | | Norman Gale (b. 1862) |
| |
| |
| HERE in the countrys heart | |
| Where the grass is green, | |
| Life is the same sweet life | |
| As it eer hath been. | |
| |
| Trust in a God still lives, | 5 |
| And the bell at morn | |
| Floats with a thought of God | |
| Oer the rising corn. | |
| |
| God comes down in the rain, | |
| And the crop grows tall | 10 |
| This is the country faith, | |
| And the best of all! | |
| |
