Ps 116:15
WE ARE GOING DOWN THE VALLEY-James H. Fillmore
We are Going Down the Valley
(or We are Going Down the Valley One by One)
}
We are going down the valley one by one,
With our faces t'ward the setting of the sun;
Down the valley where the mournful cypress grows,
Where the stream of death in silence onward flows
.
We are going down the valley one by one,
When the labors of the weary day are done;
One by one, the cares of earth for ever past,
We shall stand upon the river brink at last.
We are going down the valley one by one:
Human comrade you or I will there have none;
But a tender hand will guide us lest we fall:
Christ is going down the valley with us all.
We are going down the valley one by one:
Yet before the shadowed vale may come the dawn,
When with rapture we shall gather in the sky;
"We shall all be changed," but some shall never d
ie!
Chorus We are going down the valley,
Going down the valley,
Going t'ward the setting of the sun;
We are going down the valley,
Going down the valley,
Going down the valley one by one.
