Vale of Sorrow

Lyrics

While in this vale of sorrow,
I travel on in pain;
My heart is fixed on Jesus,
I hope the prize to gain;
But when I come to bid adieu
To those I dearly love,
My heart is often melted’
It is the grief of love.

I’m on my way to glory;
By faith I look above,
And view the smiling Savior
Which fills my soul with love;
’Tis this that so constrains my soul
Poor sinners to entreat,
To seek the Father’s favor
Upon the mercy-seat.
