It was in Juda's land
By God's almighty hand
That Jesus Christ was born in the valley.

CHORUS:
In the valley,
In the valley,
That Jesus Christ was born in the valley.

'Twas by his mother's hand
He was wrapped in swaddling band
And in a manger laid in the valley.

CHORUS:
In the valley,
In the valley,
And in a manger laid in the valley.
