The Valley of the Shadow

Verse 1

They tell me that there is a shaded vale Thro’ which I must surely go, But passing that way it could not be dark, My Lord would be there I know.

Chorus

My Lord will be there I know, My Lord will be there I know, The shadows cannot harm me, My Lord will be there I know.

Verse 2

It may be that some day my path may lead There death casts its gloomy shade; Since death by His dying has lost it pow’r, Will shadows make me afraid.

Verse 3

Since Jesus my Saviour endured the cross, I need not fear anything, For He tasted death, and He gives me life, Oh death, where is now thy sting.

Verse 4

But why should I think of the valley’s shade, When Jesus my Lord may come, For Him I am looking and not for death, Come quickly, Lord Jesus, come.
