In this valley of tears
That when the night is far spent and fading away
Dawn approaches with morning's light
I call to Thee my Lord
Far from beneath your cross
In this valley of tears
O' when can I behold Thee;...and surely believe that it is You
Now that I seek the truth
What would you have me do?
Here in this valley of tears
Guide my steps along the everlasting way
and teach me how to pray
That I may praise and thank you
Show me the way of love that is true
That I may love all...all peoples
In this valley of tears
And yet to love you one more day
The source of all life and fount of love...
Here in the valley of tears...
