the church in the wildwood

Various Artists


 GD
 There's a church in the valley in the wildwood 
 G
No lovelier spot in the dale,  
 CG
No place is so dear to my childhood 
 DG-C-G
As the little brown church in the vale 
 GD
     Chorus: Come to the church in the wildwood 
 G
                  Oh, come to the church in the vale 
 CG
                  No spot is so dear to my childhood 
 DG-C-G
                  As the little brown church in the vale 
 GD
     Oh, come to the church in the wildwood 
 G
To the trees where the wildflowers bloom 
 CG
Where the the parting hymn will be chanted 
 DG-C-G
We will weep by the side of the tomb 
 GD
      How sweet on a clear sabbath morning 
 G
To list to the clear ringing bell,  
 CG
It's tones so sweetly are calling 
 DG-C-G
Oh, come to the church in the vale 
Repeat Chorus
 GD
      From the church in the valley by the wildwood 
 DG
When day fades away into night 
 CG
I would fain from this spot of my childhood 
 DG-C-G
Wing my way to the mansions of light 
Repeat chorus
My apologies to the Nelsons for leaving out a verse. My Father-In-law
passed away in Feb. of this year due to cancer. I sang this at his funeral
because it was an old favorite but my wifes' family asked me to leave out the
second verse because it was too close to home.
God
Bless,
