There'll Be No Dark Valley When Jesus Comes Lyrics

There'll be no dark valley when Jesus comes,

There'll be no dark valley when Jesus comes;

There'll be no dark valley when Jesus comes

To gather His loved ones homes.

Refrain

To gather His loved ones home (safe home),

To gather His loved ones home (safe home);

There'll be no dark valley when Jesus comes

To gather His loved ones home.

There'll be no more sorrow when Jesus comes,

There'll be no more sorrow when Jesus comes;

But a glorious morrow when Jesus comes

To gather His loved ones home.

Refrain

There'll be no more weeping when Jesus comes,

There'll be no more weeping when Jesus comes;

But a blessèd reaping when Jesus comes

To gather His loved ones home.

Refrain

There'll be songs of greeting when Jesus comes,

There'll be songs of greeting when Jesus comes;

And a joyful meeting when Jesus comes

To gather His loved ones home.
