Tune: | [There's a church in the valley by the wildwood] |
Composer: | Dr. Wm. S. Pitts |
1 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.
Chorus:
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.
2 How sweet on a clear, Sabbath morning,
To list to the clear ringing bell;
Its tones so sweetly are calling,
Oh, come to the church in the vale. [Chorus]
3 There, close by the church in the valley,
Lies one that I loved so well;
She sleeps, sweetly sleeps 'neath the willows;
Disturb not her rest in the vale. [Chorus]
4 There, close by the side of that loved one,
'Neath the tree where the wild flowers bloom,
When the farewell hymn shall be chated,
I shall rest by her side in the tomb. [Chorus]
