Verse:

I am tired and weary but I must toll on,
'Til the Lord comes to call me away.
Where the morning is bright and the Lamp is the light,
And the night is as fair as the day.

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.

 

Chorus:

There'll be Peace In The Valley for me some day,
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.
