Through the Valley and the Shadow

Fanny Crosby • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 23:4

Verse 1

I must walk thro’ the valley and the shadow, But I’ll journey in a loving Saviour’s care; He hath said He will never, never leave me, With His staff He will comfort me there.

Chorus

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.

Verse 2

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.

Chorus

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.

Verse 3

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.
