1. _ (there Will Be) Peace In The Valley (for Me)
Bwell i'm tired and so weary
But i must go on
Til the lord comes and calls me
Away
Where the morning is bright
And the lamb is the light
And the night is as fair
As the day
There will be peace
In the valley
For me (someday)
There will be peace
In the valley
For me (oh lord i pray)
There'll be no sadness
No darkness,
No trouble
I see
There will be peace
In the valley
For me
Well the bear will be gentle
And the wolf will be tame
And the lion shall lay down
By the lamb (oh yeah)
And the beast of the wild
Shall be led by the child
And i'll be changed
Changed from this creature
That i am (oh yeah)
There will be....etc (chorus again)

2. _ Farther Along
(traditional - arranged by elvis presley)
(we'll understand it all by and by)
Tempted and tried we're oft' made to wonder
Why it should be thus all the day long
While there are others living about us
Never molested, though in the wrong
Farther along we'll know more about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by
When death has come and taken our loved ones
Leaving our homes so lonely and drear
Then do we wonder how others prosper
Living so wicked year after year
Farther along we'll know more about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by

3. _ Stand By Me
(traditional - arranged by elvis presley)
When the storms of life are raging
Stand by me
When the storms of life are raging
Stand by me
When the world is tossing me
Like a ship out on the sea
Thou who rulest wind and water
Stand by me
When i'm growing old and feeble
Stand by me
When i'm growing old and feeble
Stand by me
When i do the best i can
And my friends misunderstand
Thou who never lost a battle
Stand by me
Thou who never lost a battle
Stand by me

4. _ By And By
(traditional - arranged by elvis presley)
Well children by and by when the morning comes
All the saints of god together they come
We will tell the story how the lord will come
And we'll understand him better by and by
Trials dark on every hand and we cannot understand
All the ways god will lead us
To the blessed promised land
He will guide us with his eye
And we'll follow till we die
And we'll understand him better by and by
Well children by and by when the morning comes
All the saints of god together they come
We will tell the story how the lord will come
And we'll understand him better by and by
Temptation's hidden snares often take the sun away
And our hearts are made to bleed
For some thoughtless word or deed
And we wonder why the test when we try to do our best
But we'll understand it better by and by
Well children by and by when the morning comes
All the saints of god together they come
We will tell the story how the lord will come
And we'll understand him better by and by
And we'll understand him better by and by

5. _ So High
(traditional - arranged by elvis presley)
Well, he's so high (so high you can't get over him)
So wide (so wide you can't get around him)
So low (so low you can't get under him)
Great god almighty (you must come in at the door)
Oh well, he's high (so high you can't get over him)
He's wide (so wide you can't get around him)
So low (so low you can't get under him)
The mighty lamb (you must come in at the door)
Well i went down in the valley
You know i did over there ever stay
My soul got happy in the valley
You know i stayed right there all day
Well, he's high (so high you can't get over him)
And he's wide (so wide you can't get around him)
I know he's so low (so low you can't get under him)
The mighty lamb (you must come in at the door)
Well i ain't been to heaven but i'm, i'm told
The streets the streets are pearls
You know the mighty mighty
Mighty gates are gold
And he's high (so high you can't get over him)
So wide (so wide you can't get around him)
He's so low (so low you can't get under him)
The mighty lamb (you must come in at the door)
Well, he's high (so high you can't get over him)
And he's wide (so wide you can't get around him)
I know he's so low (so low you can't get under him)
The mighty lamb (you must come in at the door)

6. _ Where Could I Go But To The Lord
(words & music by j. b. coats)
Living below in this old sinful world
Hardly a comfort can afford
Striving alone to face temptation so
Now won't you tell me
Where could i go but to the lord
Where could i go oh where could i go
Seeking the refuge for my soul
Needing a friend to save me in the end
Won't you tell me
Where could i go but to the lord
Life here is grand with friends i love so dear
Comfort i get from god's own word
Yet when i face that chilling hand of death
Won't you tell me
Where could i go but to the lord
Where could i go but to the lord
Where could i go oh where could i go
Seeking the refuge for my soul
Needing a friend to save me in the end
Won't you tell me
Where could i go but to the lord

7. _ Where No One Stands Alone
(words & music by mosie lister)
Once i stood in the night
With my head bowed low
In the darkness as black as could be
And my heart felt alone and i cried oh lord
Don't hide your face from me
Like a king i may live in a palace so tall
With great riches to call my own
But i don't know a thing
In this whole wide world
That's worse than being alone
Hold my hand all the way, every hour every day
Come here to the great unknown
Take my hand, let me stand
Where no one stands alone
Take my hand, let me stand
Where no one stands alone

8. _ Run On
(traditional - arranged by elvis presley)
Well you may run on for a long time
Run on for a long time,
Run on for a long time
Let me tell you god almighty gonna cut you down
Go tell that long tongued liar, oh well well
Go tell that midnight rider, oh well well
Tell the gambler, rambler, back-biter
Tell them god almighty gonna cut them down
Stop god almighty let me tell you the news
My head's been wet with the midnight dews
Coming down on my bended knees
Talking to the man from galilee
My god spoke and he spoke so sweet
I thought i heard the shuffle of angel's feet
He put one hand upon my head
Great god almighty let me tell you what he said
Go tell that long tongued liar, oh well well
Go tell that midnight rider, oh well well
Tell the gambler, rambler, back-biter
Tell them god almighty gonna cut them down
Run on for a long time,
Run on for a long time,
Let me tell you god almighty gonna cut you down
You may throw your rock and hide your hand
Working in the dark against your fellow man
As sure as god made the day and the night
What you do in the dark will be brought to the light
You may run and hide, slip and slide
Trying to take the mote from your neighbour's eyes
As sure as god made the rich and poor
You gonna reap just what you sow
Run on for a long time,
Run on for a long time
Let me tell you god almighty gonna cut you down
Go tell that long tongued liar, oh well well
Go tell that midnight rider, oh well well
Tell the gambler, rambler, back-biter
Tell them god almighty gonna cut them down
Some people go to church just to sit in the fire
Trying to make a date with the neighbour's wife
Brother let me tell you as sure as you're born
You better leave that woman alone
Because one of these days mark my word
You think that brother is going to work
And you'll sneak up and knock on that door
That's all brother you'll knock no more
Run on for a long time,
Run on for a long time
Let me tell you god almighty gonna cut you down
Go tell that long tongued liar, oh well well
Go tell that midnight rider, oh well well
Tell the gambler, rambler, back-biter
Tell them god almighty gonna cut them down

9. _ If The Lord Wasn't Walking By My Side
(words & music by henry slaughter)
I don't know just what i'd do
If the lord wasn't walking by my side
When i was drifting (when i was drifting on the sea of a despair)
And i was wandering (i was wandering if jehovah's up there)
When jesus found me,(jesus found me in my sinful life)
He heard me praying (he heard me praying on my knees at night)
Now i'm singing (now i'm singing this happy song)
Because i'm happy (because i'm happy as i go along)
And i don't know (i don't know) just what i'd do
If the lord wasn't walking by my side
What would i do, (what would i do when a tear fills my eyes)
What would i do (what would i do when it's my time to die)
Well i'd be lonely, discouraged
Burdened on the way
If the lord wasn't walking by my side every day
I'd be so friendless (i'd be friendless all alone and blue)
And i'd be helpless (i'd be helpless, wouldn't know what to do)
And i don't know (i don't know) just what i'd do
If the lord wasn't walking by my side
(what would i do) what would i do when the tears fill my eyes
(what would i do) what would i do when it's my time to die
(i'd be lonely, discouraged, burdened on the way)
If the lord wasn't walking by my side every day
I'd be so friendless, (i'd be friendless all alone and blue)
I'd be so helpless (i'd be helpless, wouldn't know what to do)
And i don't know (i don't know) just what i'd do
If the lord wasn't walking by my side every day
If the lord (wasn't walking) wasn't walking by my side
(wasn't walking by my side)

10. _ Somebody Bigger Than You And I
(words & music by lange - heath - burke)
Who made the mountains, who made the trees
Who made the rivers flow to the sea
And who sends the rain when the earth is dry
Somebody bigger than you and i
Who made the flowers to bloom in the spring
Who made the song for the robins to sing
And who hung the moon and the stars in the sky
Somebody bigger than you and i
He lights the way when the road is long
He keeps you company
And with his love to guide you
He walks beside you
Just like he walks with me
When we're filled with despair
Who gives me courage to go from there
And who gives me faith that will never die
Somebody bigger than you and i

11. _ In The Garden
(words & music by c.a. miles)
I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice i hear falling on my ear
The song of god discloses
And he walks with me
And he talks with me
And he tells me i am his own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
He speaks and the sound of his voice
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing
And the melody that he gave to me
Within my heart is ringing
And he walks with me
And he talks with me
And he tells me i am his own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known

12. _ Without Him
(words & music by mylon r. lefevre)
Without him i could do nothing
Without him i'd surely fail
Without him i would be drifting
Like a ship without a sail
Without him i would be dying
Without him i'd be enslaved
Without him life would be worthless
But with jesus thank god i'm saved
Oh jesus, oh jesus
Do you know him today
Please don't turn him away
Oh jesus, my jesus
Without him how lost i would be
Without him how lost i would be

13. _ Crying In The Chapel
(words & music by arthur glenn)
You saw me crying in the chapel.
The tears i shed were tears of joy
I know the meaning of contentment
Now i am happy with the lord
Just a plain and simple chapel
Where humble people go to pray
I pray the lord that i'll grow stronger
As i live from day to day
I've searched and i've searched
But i couldn't find
No way on earth
To gain peace of mind
Now i'm happy in the chapel
Where people are of one accord
We gather in the chapel
Just to sing and praise the lord
Ev'ry sinner looks for something
That will put his heart at ease
There is only one true answer
He must get down on his knees
Meet your neighbor in the chapel
Join with him in tears of joy
You'll know the meaning of contentment
Then you'll be happy with the lord
You'll search and you'll search
But you'll never find
No way on earth
To gain peace of mind
Take your troubles to the chapel
Get down on your knees and pray
Your burdens will be lighter
And you'll surely find the way

14. _ How Great Thou Art
(words & music by stuart hine)
Oh lord my god when i in awesome wonder
Consider all the> worlds> thy hands have made
I see the stars, i hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed
When christ shall come
With shout of acclamation
To take me home
What joy shall fill my heart
Then i shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim my god how great thou art
Then sings my soul my savior god to thee
How great thou art
How great thou art
Then sings my soul my savior god to thee
How great thou art how great thou art
