Peace in the Valley

(Thomas A. Dorsey)



Well, I'm tired and so weary but I must go along

Till the Lord comes and calls me, calls me away, oh yes

Well, the morning is bright and the lamb is the light

And the night, night is as black as the day.



There will be peace in the valley for me some day

There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray

There'll be no sadness, no sorrow, (oh my Lord) no trouble I see

There will be peace in the valley for me.



Well, the bear will be gentle and the wolf will be tame

And the lion shall lay down by the lamb, oh yes

The beast from the wild shall be lead by a child

And I'll be changed, changed from this creature that I am (oh yes.)



There will be peace in the valley for me some day

There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray

There'll be no sadness, no sorrow, (oh my Lord) no trouble I see

There will be peace in the valley for me...
