Representative Text

1 There’s no shadow in the valley, ‘tis no longer lone and chill,
When our blessed Jesus comes to meet us there;
If his rod and staff be with us, then our souls shall fear no ill,
And around us shall encamp his angels fair.

Refrain:
There’s no shadow in the valley,
Leaning on our Saviour there;
There’s no shadow in the valley,
Passing to the mansions fair.

2 There’s no shadow in the valley when the glory-light shines thro’,
When the bright and pearly gates shall open wide,
And the golden harps of heaven will ring out a welcome true,
When we enter in the city to abide. [Refrain]

3 There’s no shadow in the valley, since the Saviour passed that way;
Still the Light of Life is shining for his own;
He will chase away the darkness, he will turn the night to day,
Till we stand before the rainbow-circled throne. [Refrain]
