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 over.
I shall find down the valley no alarms,
For my Savior’s
blessed smile I can see;
He will bear me in
His loving, mighty arms,
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.
