There’s a Light in the Valley (EN 694)

1

Through the valley of the shadow I must go,

Where the cold waves of Jordan roll;

But the promise of my Shepherd I will know,

Be the rod and the staff to my soul.

Even now down the valley as I glide,

I can hear my Savior say, “Follow me!”

And with Him I’m not afraid to cross the tide;

There’s a light in the valley for me.

There’s a light in the valley,

There’s a light in the valley for me,

And no evil will I fear while my Shepherd is so near,

There’s a light in the valley for me.

2

Now the rolling of the billows I can hear,

As they beat on the turf bound shore;

But the beacon light of love so bright and clear,

Guides my bark, frail and lone, safely over.

I shall find down the valley no alarms,

For my Savior’s blessed smile I can see;

He will bear me in His loving, mighty arms,

There’s a light in the valley for me.
