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
