Lyrics:
There’s a church in the valley by the wildwoodNo lovelier place in the daleNo spot is so dear to my childhoodAs the little brown church in the vale.
Oh come, come, come, come.
Come to the church in the wildwoodOh, come to the church in the daleNo spot is so dear to my childhoodAs the little brown church in the vale.
How sweet on a clear Sabath morning,
To listen to the clear ringing bell;
Its tones so sweetly are calling,
Oh, come to the church in the vale.
Oh come, come, come, come.
Come to the church in the wildwoodOh, come to the church in the valeNo spot is so dear to my childhoodAs the little brown church in the vale.
Oh, come to the church in the wildwood.
When day slips away into night,
I would fain from my home in the wildwood.
Wing my way to the mansions of light.
Oh come, come, come, come.
Come to the church in the wildwoodOh, come to the church in the daleNo spot is so dear to my childhoodAs 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.
Oh come, come, come, come.
Come to the church in the wildwoodOh, come to the church in the daleNo spot is so dear to my childhoodAs the little brown church in the vale.
