Lyrics
- I am tired and weary but I must toil on
Till the Lord comes to call me away
Where the morning is bright and the Lamb is the light
And the night is as fair as the day
Chorus
There’ll be peace in the valley for me someday
There’ll be peace in the valley for me
I pray no more sorrow and sadness or trouble will be
There’ll be peace in the valley for me
- There the flow’rs will be blooming, the grass will be green
And the skies will be clear and serene
The sun ever shines, giving one endless beam
And no clouds there will ever be seen - There the bear will be gentle, the wolf will be tame
And the lion will lay down by the Lamb
The host from the wild will be led by a Child
I’ll be changed from the creature I am - No headaches or heartaches or misunderstands
No confusion or trouble won’t be
No frowns to defile just a big endless smile
There’ll be peace and contentment for me
