The Church In the Wildwood (1857)
Words & Music by Dr. William S. Pitts (1830-1918)
[Verse 1]
G D
There’s a church in the valley by the wild-wood
D7 G G7
No lovelier spot in the dale
C G
No place is so dear to my childhood
D D7 G
As the little brown church in the vale
[Chorus]
G
Oh, Come, Come, Come, Come
D
Come to the church in the wild-wood
D7 G G7
Oh, come to the church in the dale
C G
No spot is so dear to my childhood
D D7 G
As the little brown church in the vale
[Verse 2]
G D
How sweet on a clear, Sabbath morn-ing
D7 G G7
To list to the clear ringing bell
C G
It’s tones so sweetly are calling
D D7 G
Oh, come to the church in the dale
[Chorus]
G
Oh, Come, Come, Come, Come
D
Come to the church in the wild-wood
D7 G G7
Oh, come to the church in the dale
C G
No spot is so dear to my childhood
D D7 G
As the little brown church in the vale
[Verse 3]
G D
There, close by the church in the val-ley
D7 G G7
Lies one that I loved so well
C G
She sleeps, sweetly sleeps, ’neath the willow
D D7 G
Dis-turb not her rest in the vale
[Chorus]
G
Oh, Come, Come, Come, Come
D
Come to the church in the wild-wood
D7 G G7
Oh, come to the church in the dale
C G
No spot is so dear to my childhood
D D7 G
As the little brown church in the vale
[Verse 4]
G D
There, close by the side of that loved one
D7 G G7
To trees where the wild flowers bloom
C G
When the farewell hymn shall be chanted
D D7 G
I shall rest by her side in the tomb
[Chorus]
G
Oh, Come, Come, Come, Come
D
Come to the church in the wild-wood
D7 G G7
Oh, come to the church in the dale
C G
No spot is so dear to my childhood
D D7 G
As the little brown church in the vale
[Verse 5]
G D
From the church in the valley by the wild-wood
D7 G G7
When day fades away into night
C G
I would fain from this spot of my childhood
D D7 G
Wing my way to the mansions of light
[Chorus]
G
Oh, Come, Come, Come, Come
D
Come to the church in the wild-wood
D7 G G7
Oh, come to the church in the dale
C G
No spot is so dear to my childhood
D D7 G
As the little brown church in the vale
