many troubles have we known lord
many troubles lie ahead
many times have we all stumbled
in the weary miles we've tread
many times have we called out
as our faith been torn apart
but we rest now in your favor
and we know now in our hearts
there'll be peace in the valley
when we cross this mountain high
there'll be peace in the valley
in the valley by and by
there's a river in that valley
running through a field of green
where we all will be forgiven
and our souls will all wash clean
there's a promise everlasting
just waiting to be heard
so we walk on and we listen
and we know it word for word
there'll be peace in the valley
when we cross this mountain high
there'll be peace in the valley
in the valley by and by
there'll be peace in the valley
in the valley by and by
