The first time it was "Little Brown Church in the Vale" back in 1960. We were married there.
The second time it was "Little Brown Church in the Vale" last year when we renewed our vows there for our 50th anniversary.
There's a church in the valley by the wildwood
No lovelier spot in the dale.
No spot is so dear to my childhood
As the Little Brown Church in the Vale.
How sweet on a clear Sabbath morning
To list to the clear ringing bell
Its tones so sweetly are calling
O come to the Church in the Vale.
We rang that bell twice - in 1960 and in 2010.
