There's a Little White Church in the valley That stands in my memory each day And it seems I can hear the bells ringing Though I am many miles away And many times on Sunday morning The 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; Little White Church Is a place that 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 over the dark and stormy sea I know that their troubles all are ended And happy forever they shall be They are waiting and watching up yonder For the coming home of you and me. Oh, the Church in the valley; Little White Church Is a place that I love so well Now I'm sad and lonely, yes, I'm sad and lonely For that Little White Church in the dell. Oh, the Church in the valley; Little White Church Is a place that I love so well Now I'm sad and lonely, yes, I'm sad and lonely For that Little White Church in the dell.
