1 There’ll be no dark valleys when Jesus comes,
There’ll be no dark valleys when Jesus comes,
There’ll be no dark valleys when Jesus comes,
To gather His loved ones home.

To gather His loved ones home,
To gather His loved ones home.
There’ll be no dark valleys when Jesus comes,

Notes

There'll be no dark valley when Jesus comes. [Light at Eventide.] Cocerning this hymn, in Sacred Songs and Solos, 1903, Mr. Sankey says, in his My Life and Sacred Songs, 1906:—

"I arranged this hymn from the words which Mr. W. O. dishing wrote for me, of which, however, I used only the first line, 'There'll be no dark valley when Jesus comes.'"

Its proper ascription is "W. O. Cushing and I. D. Sankey."

--John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, New Supplement (1907)
