Author: P. P. Bliss Hymnal: Minnetonka Songs #84 (1879) First Line: Thro' the valley of the shadow I must go Lyrics: 1 Thro' the valley of the shadow I must go,
Where the cold waves of Jordan roll;
But the promise of my Shepherd will I know,
Be the rod and the staff to my soul.
Even now down the valley as I glide,
I can hear my Savior say, “Follow me!”
And with him I’m not afraid to cross the tide,
There’s a light in the valley for me.
There’s a light in the valley,
There’s a light in the valley,
There’s a light in the valley for me,
And no evil will I fear,
While my Shepherd is so near,
There’s a light in the valley for me.
2 Now the rolling of the billows I can hear,
As they beat on the turf-bound shore;
But the beacon light of love so bright and clear,
Guides my bark, frail and lone, safely o’er.
I shall find down the valley no alarms,
For my Savior’s blessed smile I can see;
He will bear me in his loving, mighty arms,
There’s a light in the valley for me.
There’s a light in the valley,
There’s a light in the valley,
There’s a light in the valley for me,
And no evil will I fear,
While my Shepherd is so near,
There’s a light in the valley for me.
