There’s a peaceful valley of decision found, Where unbroken fellowship and love abound; Softly falls the glory of the evening light, On its saints arrayed in white.
Refrain: Oh, how sweet is my rest, In the vale of the blest; For the Lord is so near, And His saints are so dear.
In this pure “decision,” all the holy dwell, All who follow Jesus in His perfect will; And they only glory in the Crucified, And in all His truth abide.
In this lowly vale is everlasting rest, For the wholly sanctified in heaven blest; Oh, what sacred bonds of love and harmony, In the valley of the free!
“Multitudes,” now gather in the vale of love, And their praises echo on the hills above; Lo! the Lord is coming, and the day is near; For the evening sun is clear.
