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
I’m linking up with Teacher Jenny for Alphabe-Thursday. We are on the Letter W.

Love that song…and your beautiful pictures, too.
Makes me smile with the nostalgia of it all.

I’ve always loved the look of that sweet little church. What a perfect song to put with it.
Your architectural photos are excellent! Your words to go with the photos make this a perfect post.
Wonderful post. I love that orange stuff on the cross…. Very pretty
Beautiful pictures of a beautiful church! It should be in a movie. It is perfect!
Lovely and so poignant.

I’m looking at the post above…and like the little music notes!
Your photos and poetry go together so well! That church is a charmer and thanks for sharing it! And, yes there was a move in our lives…it was life changing and good timing! We are very happy at our new home and smaller property.
