Little white church
There's a little white church in the valley That stands in my memory each day And it seems I can hear the bells now ringing Though I am many miles away And many times in church on Sunday morning That whole countryside would gather there They would all kneel down by the altar As they lifted up their voice in prayer Oh, the church in the valley Oh, that little white church Is the place I love so well Now I'm sad and lonely, yes, I'm sad and lonely For that little white church in the dell They would sing the old song Rock of Ages Oh Christ, let me hide myself in thee And I know some of them are now waiting Just o'er the dark and stormy sea I know that trouble all are ended And happy forever they will be They are waiting and watching up yonder For the coming home of you and me * Refrain
