Come and work for Him today
 The fields are white and the harvest falling
 Come and work for Him today

 CHORUS:
 You've got to walk that lonesome valley
 You've got to go there by yourself
 There's no one here can go there with you
 You've got to go there by yourself

 My mother told me when she was dying
 Just before her breath was gone
 My darling one, put trust in Jesus
 'Fore I leave you here alone

 REPEAT CHORUS

 Some people say John was a Baptist
 Others say he was a Jew
 But the Holy Bible tells us
 That he was a preacher, too

 REPEAT CHORUS
