I always have a happy feeling

When I go to church.

The organ plays so soft and sweet;

I tiptoe softly to my seat.

My teachers and my friends I greet

When I go to church.

I like to raise my voice in singing

When I go to church.

I fold my arms and bow my head,

Then listen while the prayer is said;

I do not talk but think instead

When I go to church.

I learn about my Heav’nly Father

When I go to church.

I thank him for each flow’r and tree,

For home and friends and family,

For all the lovely things I see

When I go to church.

   The chapel doors seem to say to me,

   “Sh, be still.”

   For this is a reverent place to be,

   “Sh, be still.”

   We gather here on the Sabbath day

   To learn of Jesus, to sing and pray.

   So when we come through the chapel doors,

   “Sh, be still.”
