sheltered both it and its worshippers
from the hot rays of the summers sun
and the cold blasts of the winters
wind. And as he thought of this little
sanctuary surrounded by these great
giants OF the forest whom Sod planted
there. as IL to protect His chosen ones
from harm, he penned this title. The
Little Brown Church in the Vale" to
his song and wrote:
There's church in the valley by the
wildwood.
No lvelier place in the dale:
No spot is so dear 20 my childhood
As the little brown church in the vale.
How sweet on a bright Sabbath morning
To list 70 the clear ringing bell;
Its tones so sweetly are calling.
Oh. come 10 the church In the vale.
There. close by the church in the valley.
Lies one that loved so well:
She sleeps. sweetly sleeps. meath the viii
low:
Disturb not her rest in the vale.
There. close by the side of that loved
Meath the tree where the wild flowers
bloom.
when the farewell hymn shall be chanted
shall rest BY her side In the tomb.
CHORUS.

Come 10 the church in the wildwood.
on come TO the church in the vale:
No spot is 20 dear 10 my childhood
AZ the little brown church in the vale.
This little song was first sung BY
Or Pitts on dedication day and was
afterward published by c. NJ. Higgins
