Old Gospel Songs We Sang After Dinner on the Grounds | Old-Time Gospel Hymns, 60s & 70s

Old gospel songs and vintage gospel music inspired by the warm small-church sound of the 1960s and 1970s — newly written, not archival recordings. Made for listeners who remember Homecoming Sunday at a little country church — the long tables under the oak, Mama's fried chicken and the pie table, Brother Earl's guitar, paper fans moving in time, and the whole church singing in the shade after dinner on the grounds — and who still want to pray and pass that faith on. Expect mature gospel voices, an old upright piano, soft church organ, acoustic guitar, upright bass, and close family harmony in original Christian songs about Jesus, the cross, grace, prayer, God's Word, family, and the hope of heaven. These are the songs we sang after dinner on the grounds. Every family had a verse. The children ran between the hymns, we sang till the ice melted in the tea, and Mama saved me a seat in the shade. Nobody was in a hurry to go home, because the singing was the best part of the day. The long table is shorter now, but the Savior we sang to under that oak is still faithful, and one day we will all come back and sing again. Let these old-time gospel songs play on a bright Sunday afternoon while you cook, sit on the porch, pray, or remember the church that raised you. 🎵 TRACKLIST 0:00 Dinner on the Grounds and a Song 5:51 Mama Brought the Chicken and the Alto 10:29 Under the Oak With the Whole Church 15:03 Homecoming Sunday 20:13 Brother Earl Brought His Guitar 25:21 The Pie Table and the Old Hymns 30:24 We Sang Till the Ice Melted 36:16 Every Family Had a Verse 42:24 The Children Ran Between the Hymns 47:11 She Saved Me a Seat in the Shade 52:14 The Long Table Is Shorter Now 58:16 Come Back Next Year and Sing 1:02:45 Alternate Versions Begin Tell us where you are listening from and finish this sentence: "At our church homecoming, the dish everybody waited for was…" Your memory may comfort someone who needs it today.
