452. Jesus Walked This Lonesome Valley

1 Jesus walked this lonesome valley;
he had to walk it by himself.
Oh, 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.
Oh, 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.
Oh, nobody else can stand it for you;
You have to stand it by yourself.
