CHURCH IN THE WILDWOOD

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

There close by the side of that loved one

'Neath the tree where the wild flowers bloom

When the farewell hymn shall be chanted

I shall rest by her side in the tomb
