The song “Peace in the Valley” touches our heart’s desire for tranquility and an absence of conflict. It was composed at a time when the threat of war was hanging like a dark cloud over Europe, Asia, and the rest of the world. The song holds out God’s promise that believers will be taken out of this troubled world, and our wonderful Messiah, Jesus, will establish His kingdom in which peace will reign supreme.
Even so come, Lord Jesus.
Peace in the Valley
By Thomas Dorsey
I am
tired and I’m weary, but I must toil on
till
the Lord come to call me away;
where the morning is bright and the Lamb is the light
and the
night is fair as the day.
There will be peace in the valley for me some day.
There will be peace in the valley for me.
I pray no more sorrow and sadness or trouble will be;
there will be peace in the valley for me.
There
the flow’rs will be blooming, the grass will be green,
and the skies will be clear and serene;
the sun ever shines, giving one endless beam
and the clouds there will never be seen.
There will be peace in the valley for me some day.
There will be peace in the valley for me.
I pray no more sorrow and sadness or trouble will be;
there will be peace in the valley for me.
There
the bear will be gentle, the wolf will be tame,
and the lion will lay down by the lamb.
The host from the wild will be led by a Child;
I’ll be changed from the creature I am.
There will be peace in the valley for me some day.
There will be peace in the valley for me.
I pray no more sorrow and sadness or trouble will be;
there will be peace in the valley for me.
No
headaches or heartaches or misunderstands;
no confusion or trouble won’t be;
no frowns to defile, just a big endless smile;
there’ll be peace and contentment for me.
There will be peace in the valley for me some day.
There will be peace in the valley for me.
I pray no more sorrow and sadness or trouble will be;
there will be peace in the valley for me. [1]
