C                                 G7     C
I was down in the valley way down in the valley
G7
When the Savior heard my feeble cry
C                              G7           C
Now I'm back upon the mountain way upon the mountain

Drinking from the fountain that never will run dry

Way down in the valley of despair
C                                      G7           C
But when I told Him all my troubles my joys then He doubled

I'm way up on the mountain rejoicing in His care

Way up on the mountain if you fight the good fight
