(THERE'LL BE) PEACE IN THE VALLEY (FOR ME)
Words and music by Thomas A. Dorsey, 1936
As recorded by Johnny Cash with the Carter Family on "Ring of Fire: The Best of Johnny Cash" (1963)

Well, I'm tired and so weary but I must go along,
Till the Lord comes and calls, calls me away, oh, yes,
Well, the mornin's so bright and the lamb is the light,
And the night, night is as black as the sea, oh, yes.

CHORUS: There will be peace in the valley for me, someday,
There will be peace in the valley for me, dear Lord, I pray.
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble I see.
There will be peace in the valley for me.

Well, the bear will be gentle and the wolf will be tame,
And the lion shall lay down with the lamb, oh, yes,
And the beast from the wild will be led by a child,
And I'll be changed, changed from this creature that I am, oh, yes. CHORUS
