Hymn 789
It may be in the valley
Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.6.6.5. & Ref.
Scripture: Heb. 13:5
It may be in the valley
Where countless dangers hide,
It may be in the sunshine
that I in peace abide
But this one thing I know,
If it be dark or fair
If Jesus is with me,
I’ll go anywhere!
If Jesus goes with me, I'll go anywhere!
Tis heaven to me where’er I may be
If He is there!
I count it a privilege here…
His cross to bear;
If Jesus goes with me, I’ll go anywhere.
It may be I must carry
the blessed word of life
Across the burning deserts
to those in sinful strife;
And though it be my lot
to bear my colours there
If Jesus goes with me
I’ll go anywhere!
But if it be my portion
to bear my cross at home
While others bear their burdens
beyond the billow’s foam
I’ll prove my faith in Him
confess His judgments fair
And if He stays with me,
I'll stay anywhere!
It is not mine to question
the judgments of my Lord;
It is but mine to follow
the leadings of His Word;
But if I go or stay,
or whether here or there
I’ll be with my Saviour,
content anywhere!
