LYRICS

Oh well, I'm tired and so weary

But I must go alone

Till the Lord comes and calls

Calls me away, oh yes

Well, the morning's so bright

And the lamp is alight

And the night

Night is as black as the sea, oh yes

There will be peace in the valley for me

Some day

There will be peace in the valley for me

oh, Lord pray

There'll be no sadness, no sorrow

No trouble, trouble I see

There will be peace in the valley for me

Well, the bear will be gentle

And the wolves will be tame

And the lion shall lay down

By the lamb, oh yes

And the beasts from the wild

Shall be led by a child

And I'll be changed

Changed from this creature that I am, oh yes

There will be peace in the valley for me

Some day

There will be peace in the valley for me

oh, Lord pray

There'll be no sadness, no sorrow

Oh my darling, no trouble, trouble I see

There will be peace in the valley for me, for me
