There’s a Light in the Valley

Through the val­ley of the sha­dow I must go

Where the cold waves of Jor­dan roll;

But the pro­mise of my shep­herd I will know

Be the rod and the staff to my soul.

Even now down the val­ley as I glide

I can hear my Sav­ior say

Fol­low me!

And with Him I’m not afraid to cross the tide;

There’s a light in the val­ley for me.

There’s a light in the val­ley

There’s a light in the val­ley

There’s a light in the val­ley for me

And no ev­il will I fear

While my shep­herd is so near

There’s a light in the val­ley for me.

Now the roll­ing of the bil­lows I can hear

As they beat on the turf bound shore;

But the bea­con light of love so bright and clear

Guides my bark

frail and lone

safe­ly o’er.

I shall find down the val­ley no alarms

For my Sav­ior’s bless­èd smile I can see;

He will bear me in His lov­ing

migh­ty arms

There’s a light in the val­ley for me.
