INTO THE VALLEY OF MY SOUL.
Through all the bitter cares of life,
One sadder sight I see;
My own dear Saviour, on the Cross,
Who died on Calvary.
What are my aches to His?
Then why should I despair?
The One who gave His life for all
Will help our Cross to bear.
Into the valley of my soul,
Where deep the shadows lie,
There comes a shout from Calvary:
“Look upward to the sky!
Look up, Oh! fainting heart,
His outstretched arms receive;
For Christ is coming down to earth,
Look up, faint heart! Believe!”
