1. There's a church in the val-ley by the wild-wood No love-li-er place in the dale; No spot is so dear to my child-hood As the lit-tle brown church in the vale.

Come to the lit-tle brown church in the vale.

church in the wild-wood, O come to the church in the dale;

No Spot is dear to my child-hood

As the lit-le brown church in the vale.

2. How sweet on a clear, Sab-bath morn-ing To list to the clear ring-ing bell; Its tone so sweet-lt are call-ing, O come to the church in the vale.

Come to the lit-tle brown church in the vale &c.

3. There, close by the church in the val-ley, Lies one that I loved so well; She Sleeps, sweetly sleeps 'neath the wil-lows; Dis-turb not her rest in the vale.

Come to the lit-tle brown church in the vale &c.

4. There, close by the side of that loved one, 'neath the tree where wild flowers bloom, When the fare-well hymn be chant-ed, I shall rest by her side in the the tomb.

Come to the lit-tle brown church in the vale &c.
