Verse 1
Through 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 of my soul.
Even now while the valley is all dim,
I can hear my Saviour say, “Follow Me!”
And with Him I’m not afraid to cross the stream,
There’s a light in the valley for me.
Chorus
There’s a light in the valley for me,
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.
Verse 2
Now the rolling of the billows I can hear,
As they beat on the turf-bound shore;
But the tempest of my soul is long since bright and clear,
Guiding my bark, frail and lone, safely o’er.
I shall find down the valley, home and rest,
For my Saviour’s blessed smile I see;
He will bear me in His loving, mighty arms,
There’s a light in the valley for me.
