“Peace in the Valley” is one of those timeless songs that has a way of settling into your soul. Originally written in 1937 by Thomas A.

The melody is gentle, the lyrics are simple, but the emotions they stir are profound. It’s a reminder that peace is not only a destination but also a state of mind we can carry with us, even in the midst of life’s battles.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I’m tired and so weary, but I must go along
‘Til the Lord comes and calls me away
Where the morning’s so bright and the Lamb is the light
And the night, night is as fair as the day

[Chorus]
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 I see
There will be peace in the valley for me

[Verse 2]
Well, the flowers will be blooming and the grass will be green
And the skies will be clear and serene
Where the sun ever beams in this valley of dreams
And no clouds there will ever will be seen

[Chorus]
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 I see
There will be peace in the valley for me

[Verse 3]
Well, the bear will be gentle and the wolf will be tame
And the lion shall lay down by the lamb
And the beast from the wild shall be led by a child
And I’ll be changed, changed from this creature that I am

[Outro]
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 I see
There will be peace in the valley for me someday
