(Words & music by Thomas A. Dorsey)
  Oh well, I'm tired and so weary
  But I must go alone
  Till the lord comes and calls, calls me away, oh yes
  Well the morning's so bright
  And the lamp is alight
  And the night, night is as black as the sea, oh yes
    There will be peace in the valley for me, some day
  There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray
  There'll be no sadness, no sorrow
  No trouble, trouble I see
  There will be peace in the valley for me, for me
    Well the bear will be gentle
  And the wolves will be tame
  And the lion shall lay down by the lamb, oh yes
  And the beasts from the wild
  Shall be lit by a child
  And I'll be changed, changed from this creature that I am, oh yes
    There will be peace in the valley for me, some day
  There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray
  There'll be no sadness, no sorrow
  No trouble, trouble I see
  There will be peace in the valley for me, for me
