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 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 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
