I was down in the valley
Way down in the valley
When the Saviour heard my feeble cry
But now I'm back up on the mountain
Way up on the mountain
Drinking from the fountain that never will run dry
There was darkness all around me
When my Saviour found me
Way down in the valley of despair
But when I told him all my troubles
Then all my joys he doubled
Now I'm way up on the mountain
Rejoicing in His care
I was down in the valley
Way down in the valley
When the Saviour heard my feeble cry
But now I'm back up on the mountain
Way up on the mountain
Drinking from the fountain that never will run dry
Now if you don't watch ol' Satan
He'll get you in the valley
And hide you from the Saviour's guiding light
Oh but he will stay behind you
And he can't ever find you
If you're way up on the mountain
To fight a good fight
I was down in the valley
Way down in the valley
When the Saviour heard my feeble cry
But now I'm back up on the mountain
Way up on the mountain
Drinking from the fountain that never will run dry
I was down in the valley
Way down in the valley
When the Saviour heard my feeble cry
But now I'm back up on the mountain
Way up on the mountain
Drinking from the fountain that never will run dry
