Little White Church

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
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 voices in prayer
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 their troubles all are ended
And happy forever they will be
They are waiting and watching up yonder
For the coming home of you and me
