"Church In The Wildwood" lyrics

There's a church in the valley by the wildwood
No lovelier place in the dale
No place 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 wildflowers bloom
Where the parting hymn will be cantered
We will weep by the side of the tomb

Oh, come, come, come, come
Come to the church by the wildwood
Oh, come to the church in the vale
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 bells
Its tones so sweetly are calling
Oh, come to the church in the vale

From the church in the valley by the Wildwood
When day fades away into night
I would think by this spot of my childhood
When my way to the mansions of light

Oh, come, come, come, come
Come to the church by the wildwood
Oh, come to the church in the vale
No spot is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the vale
