There's a little white church in the valleyThat stands in my memories each dayAnd it seems I can hear the bells ringingThough I am many miles awayAnd many times on Sunday morningThe whole countryside would gather thereThey would all kneel down by the altarAs they lifted up their voice in prayerOh, the church in the valley, little white churchIs the place I love so wellNow, I'm sad and lonely, yes, I am sad and lonelyFor the little white church in the dellThey would sing old songs of rock of agesOh Christ, let me hide myself in theeAnd I know some of them are now waitingJust over the dark and stormy seaAnd I know that troubles are all endedHappy forever they shall beThey are waiting, watching up yonderFor the coming home of you and meOh, the church in the valley, little white churchIs the place I love so wellI'm sad and lonely, yes, I am sad and lonelyFor the little white church in the dellOh, the church in the valley, little white churchIs the place I love so wellNow, I'm sad and lonely, yes, I am sad and lonelyFor the little white church in the dellNow, I'm sad and lonely, yes, I am sad and lonelyFor the little white church in the dell
