There are sha­dows in the val­ley,
Where our tired feet must go;
But we hear the peace­ful wa­ters,
As they mur­mur soft and low;
And our Shep­herd whis­pers gent­ly
As He leads us on­ward still;
There are sha­dows in the val­ley,
But ’tis sun­shine on the hill.

Refrain

Sunshine on the hill,
There is sun­shine on the hill
There are sha­dows in the valley,
But ’tis sun­shine on the hill.

There are sha­dows in the val­ley,
But we breathe the sweet per­fume
Of the ros­es on the mount­ain,
In their love­ly ver­nal bloom;
And again our Shep­herd whis­pers,
As He leads us on­ward still:
There are sha­dows in the val­ley,
But ’tis sun­shine on the hill.

Refrain

Oh, the sha­dows in the val­ley
Like a dream will pass away;
They will van­ish at the dawn­ing
Of the bright and glo­ri­ous day;
Even now there comes an echo,
And we feel its ma­gic thrill:
There are sha­dows in the val­ley,
But ’tis sun­shine on the hill.

Refrain
