D A
There’s a church in the valley by the wild-wood,
D
No lovelier spot in the dale;
G D
No place is so dear to my child-hood,
A D
As the little brown church in the vale.
[Refrain]
D A
Come to the church in the wild-wood,
D
Oh, come to the church in the dale,
G D
No place is so dear to my child-hood,
A D
As the little brown church in the vale.
[Verse 2]
D A
How sweet on a clear, Sabbath morn-ing,
D
To list to the clear ringing bell;
G D
Its tones so sweetly are call-ing,
A D
Oh, come to the church in the vale.
[Refrain]
D
Oh, come, come, come, come...
A
Come to the church in the wild-wood,
D
Oh, come to the church in the dale,
G D
No place is so dear to my child-hood,
A D
As the little brown church in the vale.
[Verse 3]
D A
From the church in the valley by the wild-wood,
D
When day fades away into night,
G D
I would fain from this spot of my child-hood
A D
Wing my way to the mansions of light.
[Refrain]
D
Oh, come, come, come, come...
A
Come to the church in the wild-wood,
D
Oh, come to the church in the dale,
G D
No place is so dear to my child-hood,
A D
As the little brown church in the vale.
[Outro]
A D
As the little brown church in the vale.
