There’s a beau­ti­ful ev­er­green val­ley,
Where the wea­ry and way­worn may rest,
And it lies just be­yond the dark sha­dows
That are ga­ther­ing thick in the west.

Refrain

When we en­ter the val­ley of sha­dows,
Where life’s way with its tri­als must cease,
We shall find it an ev­er­green val­ley,
Blessed with qui­et, con­tent­ment, and peace.

We will come to its bor­der at sun­set,
Where the jour­ney of life finds its end;
We will pitch our tents there till the morn­ing,
Which the Fa­ther in glo­ry will send.

Refrain

When we en­ter the val­ley of sha­dows,
The dear Sav­ior our foot­steps will guide,
And the way will be safe from all dan­ger,
If we keep ve­ry close to His side.

Refrain

There’s a beau­ti­ful ev­er­green val­ley,
It is known as the val­ley of death;
Wafted in from the fair land be­yond it,
There is borne a soft life giv­ing breath.

Refrain
