A good time was had by all, a good time was had by all
God's Holy Spirit filled the place when we offered up our praise
And a good time was had by all

1   Well, we started out this meeting with the preacher and the deacons
On their knees at an altar of prayer
They got up and started clapping, before we knew what had happened
Revival broke out everywhere
Then folks started confessing Jesus stated blessing
Oh how the Holy Spirit did fall
And I guess it's safe to say, Hallelujah! what a day!
And a good time was had by all

Chorus:

2.  Now churches meet from week to week in every town, on ev'ry street
For an anthem, three points, and a poem
They get through the gospel hour on their own earthly power
They don't pray at prayer meeting anymore
We need a lot of more old time preaching heaven's throne reaching
And, at the feet of Jesus altar calls
Oh Lord don't let us stray from the good old gospel way
When a good time was had by all.
