Psalm 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.

V. 1 There'll be no dark valley when Jesus comes,

There'll be no dark valley when Jesus comes;

There'll be no dark valley when Jesus comes

To gather His loved ones home.

Isaiah 66:18 For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.

Refrain: To gather His loved ones home, (safe home),

To gather His loved ones home; (safe home);

There'll be no dark valley when Jesus comes

To gather His loved ones home.

Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

V. 2 There'll be no more sorrow when Jesus comes,

There'll be no more sorrow when Jesus comes;

But a glorious morrow when Jesus comes

To gather His loved ones home.

Refrain

V. 3 There'll be songs of greeting when Jesus comes,

There'll be songs of greeting when Jesus comes;

And a joyful meeting when Jesus comes

To gather His loved ones home.
