Peace In The Valley

(With the Carter Family)

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, dear Lord, I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow
No 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
With the lamb
Oh, yes
And the beasts from the wild
Will 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, dear Lord, I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow
No trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley
For me
For me
