We are passin' through the valley
Tho' the road is sometimes steep
And the mountains all around us
Often make the shadows deep
It's the narrow vale of Baca
It's a valley full of shade
But we're only passin' through it
So we need not be afraid!

Chorus
Far a --way the land of Beaulah!
But to -day this vale is all that lies between
Just beyond it is the sunshine
Just beyond it is our home
When we reach it it won't matter
By what valley we have come
Cause we'll be --home!-

There was One who trod the valley
And He too suffered from thirst
He was tired, He was weary
As He crossed the valley first
But His footsteps made the pathway
Which we now may safely tread
And it makes the road more easy
When we know He's gone ahead!

[Repeat Chorus]

--Home!-

He made a promise to be with us
['Tis so sweet...in Jesus]
Through the valley and beyond
[...And take...His Word]
And to stay closer than ever
[To rest...His promise]
His love and truth lead us along
He spoke words of strength and comfort
[Precious Jesus...Savior, Friend]
For the traveler in the vale
[...Is with me...'til the end]
Not one promise that He gave them
[I know.... He loves me]
Has been known to ever fail!

[Repeat Chorus]
