Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Till the Lord comes to call me away
Where the morning is bright and the lamb is the light
And the night is as fair as the day
There'll be peace in the valley for me someway
There'll be peace in the valley for me
I pray no more sorrow and sadness or trouble will be
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 no clouds there will ever be seen
There'll be peace in the valley for me someway
There'll be peace in the valley for me
I pray no more sorrow and sadness or trouble will be
There'll 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 lead by a Child
I'll be changed from the creature I am
There'll be peace in the valley for me someway
There'll be peace in the valley for me
I pray no more sorrow and sadness or trouble will be
There'll be peace in the valley for me
No headaches or heartaches or misunderstands
No confusion or troubles won't be
No frowns to defile, just a big endless smile
There'll be peace and contentment for me
There'll be peace in the valley for me someway
There'll be peace in the valley for me
I pray no more sorrow and sadness or trouble will be
There'll be peace in the valley for me
