Church In The Wildwood

verse 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 Oh, Come, Come, Come, Come Come to the church in the wildwood Oh, come to the church in the dale No spot is so dear to my childhood As the little brown church in the vale verse 2: How sweet on a clear, Sabbath morning To list to the clear ringing bell It's tones so sweetly are calling Oh, come to the church in the dale Repeat Chorus verse 3: 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 Repeat Chorus verse 4: There, close by the side of that loved one To trees where the wild flowers bloom When the farewell hymn shall be chanted I shall rest by her side in the tomb Repeat Chorus Verse 5: From the church in the valley by the wildwood When day fades away into night I would fain from this spot of my childhood Wing my way to the mansions of light Repeat Chorus
