There'll Be Peace In The Valley For Me

 

"For you shall go out from the spiritual exile caused by
 sin and evil into the homeland with joy and be led forth by
your Leader, the Lord Himself and His Word with peace;
the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into
 singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree, and instead of
 the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the Lord
for a name renown, for an everlasting sign of jubilant exaltation
and a memorial to His praise which shall not be cut off."
(Isaiah 55:12-13)

I am tired and weary but I must toil on

Till the Lord come to call me away

Where the morning is bright

and the Lamb is the light

And the night is as fair as the day.


There'll be peace in the valley for me some day

There'll be peace in the valley for me

I pray no more sorrow and sadness

or trouble will be

There'll be peace in the valley for me.

There the flow'rs will be blooming,

the grass will be green

And the skies will be clear and serene

The sun ever shines, giving one endless beam

And the clouds there will ever be seen.

There'll be peace in the valley for me some day

There'll be peace in the valley for me

I pray no more sorrow and sadness

or trouble will be

There'll be peace in the valley for me.

There the bear will be gentle,

the wolf will be tame

And the lion will lay down with the lamb

The host from the wild will be led by a Child

I'll be changed from the creature I am.

There'll be peace in the valley for me some day

There'll be peace in the valley for me

I pray no more sorrow and sadness

or trouble will be

There'll be peace in the valley for me.

No headaches or heartaches or misunderstands

No confusion or trouble won't be

No frowns to defile, just a big endless smile

There'll be peace and contentment for me.

There'll be peace in the valley for me some day

There'll be peace in the valley for me

I pray no more sorrow and sadness

or trouble will be

There'll be peace in the valley for me.
