Through the Valley and the Shadow

I must walk thro’ the val­ley and the sha­dow

But I’ll jour­ney in a lov­ing Sav­ior’s care;

He hath said He will nev­er

nev­er leave me

With His staff He will com­fort me there.

Thro’ the val­ley

thro’ the val­ley

Thro’ the val­ley and the sha­dow I must go;

But the dark waves of Jor­dan will not harm me

There is peace in the val­ley

I know.

When I walk thro’ the val­ley and the sha­dow

All the wea­ry days of toil­ing will be o’er;

For the strong arms of Je­sus will en­fold me

And with Him I shall sor­row no more.

Tho’ I walk thro’ the val­ley and the sha­dow

Yet the glo­ry of the dawn­ing I shall see;

I shall join in the an­thems ov­er Jor­dan

Where the loved ones are wait­ing for me.

I shall walk thro’ the val­ley and the sha­dow

I shall fol­low where my Lord has gone be­fore;

Thro’ the mists of the val­ley He will lead me

Till I rest on the ev­er­green shore.
