209. In the Valley of Silence

1 In the Valley of Silence I walk with my God,
Where God and my soul are alone;
And over the path that the angels have trod,
I press, with my hand in His own.

Refrain:
O valley of Silence! O valley of Rest,
Where God and my soul are alone!
In the exquisite stillness all clamoring cease,
And heaven e’en now is my own.

2 In the Valley of Silence I think of my sin,
And long to be stainless and pure;
But God in His goodness is speaking within,
To tell me His mercy is sure. [Refrain]

3 In the Valley of Silence is never a fear,
For God will take care of His won;
So firmly I walk, without tremor or tear,
While God and my soul are alone. [Refrain]
