The Valley of Decision

D. S. Warner (1888) • English

Primary Scripture: Joel 3

Verse 1

All ye people, come down to the judgment begun, The standard uplifted is shining as the sun; Who is able to stand, Heaven’s truth to endure? Pass under the blood and be perfectly pure.

Chorus

We have come to the deep vale of rest: All calm and pure, our soul is fully blest.

Verse 2

Now the nations are summoned to appear before God, To gather a remnant made pure in Jesus’ blood; From the valley of judgment, where all truth is the test, We enter decision’s sweet valley of rest.

Chorus

We have come to the deep vale of rest: All calm and pure, our soul is fully blest.

Verse 3

Lo, what multitudes enter this sweet valley of choice, All shouting their triumph with loud exulting voice; From all sorrow and sighing He hath given release, Whose coming is near in the valley of peace.

Chorus

We have come to the deep vale of rest: All calm and pure, our soul is fully blest.

Verse 4

All is tranquil and holy in the valley of love, Its streams are salvation, freely flowing from above; Every foe is expired, and our weakness made strong, And th’ vale of decision is vocal with song.

Chorus

We have come to the deep vale of rest: All calm and pure, our soul is fully blest.
