First Line: There are shadows in the valley,

There are shadows in the valley,
Where our tired feet must go :
But we hear the peaceful waters,
As they murmur soft and low —
And our Shepherd whispers gently,
As He leads us onward still :
There are shadows in the valley,
But 'tis sunshine on the hill.

Sunshine on the hill,
There is sunshine on the hill ; . .
There are shadows in the valley,
But 'tis sunshine on the hill.

2 There are shadows in the valley,
But we breathe the sweet perfume
Of the roses on the mountain,
In their lovely vernal bloom ;
And again our Shepherd whispers,
As He leads us onward still :
There are shadows in the valley,
But 'tis sunshine on the hill.

3 Oh, the shadows in the valley,
Like a dream will pass away :
They will vanish at the dawning
Of the bright and glorious day !
Even now there comes an echo,
And we feel its magic thrill :
There are shadows in the valley,
But 'tis sunshine on the hill.
