LyicsLow down in this beautiful valley,
Where love crowns the meek and the lowly;
Where loud storms of envy and folly,
May roll on their billows in vain;
The low soul in humble subjection,
Shall here find unshaken protection,
The soft gales of cheering reflection,
The mind soothed from sorrow and pain.
This low vale is far from contention,
Where no soul can cream of dissension;
Nor dark wiles of evil invention
Can find out this region of peace:
O there, then, the Lord will deliver,
And souls drink of this beautiful river
Which flows peace forever and ever,
And love and joy will ever increase.
Come drop, dorp the tear of contrition,
And yield to the spirit's direction,
And come make the noble confession,
And die with your Savior also;
Then rise, rise to walk in his favor,
And show by your future behavior,
That Christ is you king and your Savior,
And dwell in this valley below.
