Chorus:
There's a church in the valley by the wildwood
No lovelier place in the dale
No spot is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the vale
1
How sweet on a clear Sabbath morning
To listen to the clear ringing bell
It's tones so sweetly are calling
Oh, come to the church in the vale
Chorus
Oh, come, come, come, come, come to the church by the wildwood
Come to the church in the dale
No spot is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the vale
2
There, close by the church in the valley
Lies one that I love so well
She sleeps, sweetly sleeps, 'neath the willow
Disturb not her rest in the vale
3
There, close by the side of that loved one
Neath the trees where the wild flowers bloom
When the farewell hymn shall be chanted
I shall rest by her side in the tomb
Repeat Chorus
