There's a church in the valley by
the wildwood
No lovelier spot in the dale
No place is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the vale
|
Come to the church by the
wildwood
Oh, come to the church in the vale
No spot is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the vale
|
How sweet on a clear Sabbath
morning
To listen to the clear ringing bells
Its tones so sweetly are calling
Oh come to the church in the vale
|
Come to the church by the
wildwood
Oh, come to the church in the vale
No spot is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the vale
|
There, close by the church in the
valley
Lies one that I loved so well
She sleeps, sweetly sleeps,'neath the willow
Disturb not her rest in the vale
|
Come to the church by the
wildwood
Oh, come to the church in the vale
No spot is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the vale
|
There, close by the side of that
loved one
'Neath the tree where the wild flowers bloom
When farewell hymns shall be chanted
I shall rest by her side in the tomb
|
Come to the church by the
wildwood
Oh, come to the church in the vale
No spot is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the vale
