Well I'm tired and so weary
but I must go alone
till the Lord comes and calls me away
and the morning so bright
and the Lamb is the Light
and the night is as black as the sea

There will be peace in the valley for me, someday
peace in the valley for me, dear Lord I pray
there'll be no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble I see
there will be peace in the valley for me

The bear will be gentle
and the wolf will be tame
and the lion shall lay down with the lamb, that's what He said
and the beast from the wild
will be led by a child
and I will be changed from this creature that I am

Then there'll be peace in the valley for me
there will be peace in the valley for me, dear Lord I pray
there'll be no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble I see
there will be peace in the valley for me
some sweet, sweet day
