Red Foley - Peace In The Valley Lyrics

Oh well, I'm tired and so weary but I must go along

Till the Lord will come and call, call me away, oh yes

Well, the morning's bright and the lamb is the light

And the night, night is as black as the sea, oh yes

There will be peace in the valley for me, someday

There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray

There'll be no sadness, no sorrow, oh my Lord and no trouble, I'll see

There will be peace in the valley for me

Oh well, the bear will be gentle and the wolf will be tame

And the lion shall lay down by the lamb, oh yes

And the beast from the wild will be laid 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, oh my Lord and no trouble, I'll see

There'll be peace in the valley for me
