Elvis Presley's 'Peace in the Valley' is a gospel song expressing hope for a future time of rest and tranquility. The lyrics speak of weariness and waiting for the Lord's call, but look forward to a day when sorrow and trouble are gone. Imagery of wild animals becoming gentle reflects a biblical vision of peace.

Oh well, I'm tired and so weary

But I must go alone

Till the lord comes and calls, calls me away, oh yes

Well the morning's so bright

And the Lamb is the light

And the night, night is as black as the sea, oh yes


There will be peace in the valley for me, some day

There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray

There'll be no sadness, no sorrow

No trouble, trouble I see

There will be peace in the valley for me, for me


Well the bear will be gentle

And the wolves will be tame

And the lion shall lay down by the lamb, oh yes

And the beasts from the wild

Shall be led by a child

And I'll be changed, changed from this creature that I am, oh yes


There will be peace in the valley for me, some day

There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray

There'll be no sadness, no sorrow

No trouble, trouble I see

There will be peace in the valley for me, for me
