(Thomas A. Dorsey)

Oh well, I'm tired and so weary but I must journey on
Till the Lord will come and call, call me away, oh yes
Where the morning is bright and the lamb is the light
And the night is as fair as the day, (oh yes.)

(There will be peace in the valley for me some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh, Lord I pray
There'll be no sorrow, no sadness, oh my Lord, no trouble I see)
There will be peace in the valley for me, (oh yes.)

Oh well, the bear will be gentle and the wolf will be tame
And the lion will lay down by the lamb
And the beast from the wild will be lead by a child
And I'll be 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 I pray
There'll be no sorrow, no sadness, oh my Lord, no trouble I see)
There will be peace in the valley for me, (oh yes.)

Yes, there will be peace in the valley for me...
