I was down in the valley, way down in the valley When they said they heard my people cryNow I'm back up on the mountain, way up on the mountain Drinking from the fountain that never will run dryThere was darkness all around me when my savior found me Way down in the valley of despairWhen I told him all my trouble, my joys then he doubled I'm way up on the mountain rejoicing in his careI was down in the valley, way down in the valley When they said they heard my people cryNow I'm back up on the mountain, way up on the mountain Drinking from the fountain that never will run dryIf you don't watch old Satan, he'll get you in the valley And hide you from the Savior's guiding lightBut he will stay behind you and he will never find you Way up on the mountain if you fight the good fightI was down in the valley, way down in the valley When the Savior heard my people cryNow I'm back up on the mountain, way up on the mountain Drinking from the fountain that never will run dry
