There is No Dark Valley

Representative Text

1 To the just there’s no dark valley
In their bright and shining way,
For the light of life in Jesus
Shineth unto perfect day;
“He that liveth and believeth
On His name, shall never die,”
And the rainbow of this promise
Spans the valley to the sky.

Chorus:
To the just there’s no dark valley
In their bright and shining way,
For the light of life in Jesus
Shineth unto perfect day.

2 ‘Tis the royal road to heaven,
Since the Master went that way,
And a shining path of glory
From the darkness to the day;
Yes, the gates of pearl are open,
And the light from off the throne
Guides the pilgrim in his journey,
When the work of life is done. [Chorus]

3 From the sting of death and sorrow,
And the terrors of the grave,
We are free thro’ Him that conquered,
Thro’ the Christ that came to save;
And the life of the believer,
Hid in Him who conquered sin,
Shall be radiant forever
With the light of life in Him. [Chorus]
