Words and Music by William Savage Pitts VERSE 1 C F C G7 There's a church in the valley by the wildwood, C no lovelier spot in the dale. F C No place is so dear to my childhood G7 C as the little brown church in the vale. REFRAIN Oh, come, come, come, come, F C G7 come to the church in the wildwood, C oh, come to the church in the vale. F C No spot is so dear to my childhood G7 C as the little brown church in the vale. VERSE 2 C F C G7 Oh, come to the church in the wildwood, C to the trees where the wild flowers bloom; F C where the parting hymn will be chanted, G7 C we will weep by the side of the tomb. REFRAIN Oh, come, come, come, come, F C G7 come to the church in the wildwood, C oh, come to the church in the vale. F C No spot is so dear to my childhood G7 C as the little brown church in the vale. VERSE 3 C F C G7 How sweet on a clear Sabbath morning, C to list to the clear ringing bell; F C its tones so sweetly are calling, G7 C oh, come to the church in the vale. REFRAIN Oh, come, come, come, come, F C G7 come to the church in the wildwood, C oh, come to the church in the vale. F C No spot is so dear to my childhood G7 C as the little brown church in the vale. VERSE 4 C F C G7 From the church in the valley by the wildwood, C when day fades away into night, F C I would fain from this spot of my childhood G7 C wing my way to the mansions of light. REFRAIN Oh, come, come, come, come, F C G7 come to the church in the wildwood, C oh, come to the church in the vale. F C No spot is so dear to my childhood G7 C as the little brown church in the vale.
