Going Down the Valley One By One We are going down the valley one by one With our faces toward the setting of the sun Down in the valley where the mournful cypress grows Where the streams of death in silence onward flows We are going down the valley Going down the valley Going toward the setting of the sun We are going down the valley Going down the valley We are going down the valley one by one We are going down the valley one by one Human comrades, you and I will ne'er have none; But we will meet with rapture iun the sky We will all be changed, but some will never die. We are going down the valley one by one Yet before the shadowed veil will come the dawn, And a gentle hand will lead us lest we fall, Christ is going down the valley with us all. We are going down the valley one by one When the labors of this weary world is done; When the labors of this weary world is past We shall stand upon the river bank at last. We are going down the valley one by one As the Blessed Father stands before His Son; In sacramental vestige angels sing Sounds of joy, of peace, of hope, around us ring. SOF
