83t Vale of Sorrow

Words: Battle’s Collection, 1814

Music: B. F. White, 1844. Alto W. M. Cooper, 1902

Meter: Particular Meter

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.
