427. Jesus Walked This Lonesome Valley

1 Jesus walked this lonesome valley;
He had to walk it by himself.
O nobody else could walk it for him;
He had to walk it by himself.

2 We must walk this lonesome valley;
We have to walk it by ourselves.
O nobody else can walk it for us;
We have to walk it by ourselves.

3 You must go and stand your trial;
You have to stand it by yourself.
O nobody else can stand it for you;
You have to stand it by yourself.
