{I Am Passing Down the Valley
VALE OF BEULAH-Joseph Garrison
I Am Passing Down the Valley
}
I am passing down the valley that they say is so
lone,
But I find that all the pathway is with flow'rs o
vergrown;
'Tis to me the vale of Beulah, 'tis a beautiful w
ay,
For the Savior walks beside me, my companion all
day.
Chorus Vale of Beulah! Vale of Beulah!
Thou art precious to me;
For the lovely land of Canaan in the distance I s
ee.
Not a shadow, not a shadow ever darkens the way,
For a radiance of rare glory shines upon it all d
ay,
And the music, sweetly chanted by the heaven-boun
d throng,
Floats in echoes down the valley, and it cheers m
e along.
Day by day I feel the presence of the dear Savio
r near,
And each moment fills with gladness as His kind v
oice I hear;
For He comforts and He helps me by the words that
He saith,
And He kindles love within me, and He strengthens
my faith.
So I journey with rejoicing t'ward the City of L
ight,
While each day my joy is deeper, and the path gro
ws more bright,
And I near the open portals ofthe kingdom above,
For this highway leads to Canaan, to the kingdom
of love.
