Words & Music by Dr. William S. Pitts (1830-1918)
[Verse 1]
There’s a chGurch in the valley by the wild-wDood
No lovelier sD7pot in the dGaleG7  
No plCace is so dear to my chilGdhood
As the liDttle brown chD7urch in the vGale
[Chorus]
Oh, CGome, Come, Come, Come
Come to the church in the wild-wDood
Oh, come to the chD7urch in the dGaleG7  
No sCpot is so dear to my chilGdhood
As the liDttle brown chD7urch in the vGale
[Verse 2]
How sGweet on a clear, Sabbath morn-iDng
To list to the cD7lear ringing bGellG7  
It’s toCnes so sweetly are calGling
Oh, cDome to the chD7urch in the dGale
[Chorus]
Oh, CGome, Come, Come, Come
Come to the church in the wild-wDood
Oh, come to the chD7urch in the dGaleG7  
No sCpot is so dear to my chilGdhood
As the liDttle brown chD7urch in the vGale
[Verse 3]
There, clGose by the church in the val-lDey
Lies one that I lD7oved so wGellG7  
She slCeeps, sweetly sleeps, ’neath the wiGllow
Dis-tDurb not her rD7est in the vGale
[Chorus]
Oh, CGome, Come, Come, Come
Come to the church in the wild-wDood
Oh, come to the chD7urch in the dGaleG7

As the liDttle brown chD7urch in the vGale
[Verse 4]
There, clGose by the side of that loved oDne
To trees where the wD7ild flowers blGoomG7  
When the farCewell hymn shall be chaGnted
I shall rDest by her sD7ide in the tGomb
[Chorus]
Oh, CGome, Come, Come, Come

From the chGurch in the valley by the wild-wDood
When day fades aD7way into niGghtG7  
I would fCain from this spot of my chilGdhood
Wing my wDay to the manD7sions of liGght
[Chorus]
Oh, CGome, Come, Come, Come
Come to the church in the wild-wDood
Oh, come to the chD7urch in the dGaleG7
