211. Jesus Walked This Lonesome Valley

1 Jesus walked this lonesome valley,
he had to walk it by himself;
O, nobody else could walk it for him,
he had to walk it by himself.

2 We must walk this lonesome valley,
we have to walk it by ourselves;
O, nobody else can walk it for us,
we have to walk it by ourselves.

3 You must go and stand your trial,
you have to stand it by yourself,
O, nobody else can stand it for you,
you have to stand it by yourself.
