The Valley

I have been through the valley of weeping,
The valley of sorrow and pain;
But the "God of all comfort" was with me,
At hand to uphold and sustain.

As the earth needs the clouds and the sunshine,
Our souls need both sorrow and joy;
So He places us oft in the furnace,
The dross from the gold to destroy.
        
When he leads through some valley of trouble,
His powerful hand we can trace;
For the trials and sorrow he sends us
Are part of his lessons of grace.

Oft we shrink from the purging and pruning,
Forgetting the Husbandman knows
The deeper the cutting and paring,
The richer the cluster that grows.

Well he knows that affliction is needed;
He has a wise purpose in view,
And in the dark valley He whispers,
"Hereafter thou will know what I do."
     
As we travel through life's shadowed valley,
Fresh springs of His love ever rise;
And we learn that our sorrows and losses
Are blessings just sent in disguise.

So we'll follow wherever He leadeth,
Through pathways be dreary or bright;
For we've proof that our God can give comfort,
Our God can give songs in the night.

Psalms 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:
 for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
2Corinthians 1:3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
 the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
 Ezekiel 14:23 And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways
and their doings: and ye shall know that I have not done
 without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord GOD.







Have a blessed day!
