Lyrics

  1. 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

  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. 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
