The Church In The Wildwood

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

Chorus:
Oh, 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

Oh, come to the church in the wildwood

To the trees where the wild flowers bloom

Where the parting hymn will be chanted

We will weep by the side of the tomb.

 
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 vale

 Chorus:
Oh, 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

From the church in the valley by the wild wood

When the day fades away into night

I would fain from this spot of my childhood

wing my way to the mansions of light.

 Chorus:
Oh, 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.

   "I love them that love me; 

and those that seek me early shall find me.  

Proverbs 8:17
