1 There’s a beautiful valley of peace,
Where the heart of the weary may rest;
Where tumult of trials may cease,
And those who are burdened be blest.

Refrain:
In the valley of peace, the valley of peace,
In the beautiful valley of peace,
My Saviour is there ev’ry burden to bear,
In the beautiful valley of peace.

2 In that beautiful valley I know
Wild clamor is hushed into calm;
And, walking where still waters flow,
The sorrowing soul findeth balm. [Refrain]

3 In the valley of peace I may hide,
Where strifes of the world cannot mar,
And there I will follow my Guide,
My Hope and my glorious Star; [Refrain]

4 In the valley of peace let me roam
With Jesus, my “Staff” and my “Rod,”
Till I come to my heavenly home,
Whose builder and maker is God. [Refrain]
