The Valley Dim

Verse 1

Before us lies a valley dim, Which soon our feet may tread, And through it rolls a sullen stream, The river of the dead.

Chorus

We are almost down to the river side, Soon shall our wand'rings cease; If Jesus Himself will be our guide, We shall walk thro' the valley in peace.

Verse 2

Tho' dark the vale and cold the stream It cannot us affright, For Christ hath passed thro' the valley dim, To the home of joy and light.

Verse 3

Tho' death's dark shades around may be, My Shepherd still is near, His rod and staff they comfort me; No evil shall I fear.

Verse 4

Baptized beneath death's chilling flood, In glory we shall rise, To meet the conquering Son of God Descending from the skies.
