There's a church in the valley by
the wildwood
No lovelier place in the dell
No spot is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the dell

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

How sweet, on a clear Sabbath
morning
To listen to the clear ringing bell
Its gongs so sweetly are calling
Oh, come to the church in the dell

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

There, close by the side of the
loved one
'Neath the tree where the wild
flowers bloom
She sleeps, sweet love sleeps
'neath the willow
Disturb not her rest in the tomb

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

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