Model Church, The

DESCRIPTION: "Well, wife, I found a model church, And worshipped there today. It made me think of good old times." Because he is hard of hearing, they let him sit in front. The singing made him think he could hear. The music makes him feel happy that he won't sin more

NOTES [76 words]: The singer claimed that the service in the Model Church made him able to hear. On the evidence, it doesn't seem to have helped his ability to think.
The hymn "Coronation" referred to in the song is often known as "All Hail the Power of Jesus's Name," and is indexed under that title. "Coronation" isn't really a good name for it, since that is the name of the tune, and "All Hail" is sung to many tunes although "Coronation" is probably the most common. - RBW
