Little White Church        Traditional

There's a [G] little white church in the valley
That [C] stands in my memory each [G] day
And it seems I can hear the bells now ringing
Though [A] I am many miles a [D] way
And [G] many times in church on Sunday morning
That [C] whole countryside would gather [G] there
They would all kneel down by the altar
As they [D] lifted up their voices in [G] prayer

Chorus:
Oh the church in the valley, oh, that [C] little white church
Is the [G] place I love so [D] well
Now I'm [G] sad and lonely, yes I'm [C] sad and lonely
For that [G] little white [D] church in the [G] dell

They would sing the old song Rock of Ages
Oh Christ, let me hid 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.

Chorus
