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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain
