the lily of the valley

i have found a friend in jesus he's everything to me

he's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul

the lily of the valley and in him alone i see

all i need to cleanse and make me fully whole

in sorrow he's my comfort in trouble he's my stay

he tells me every care on him to roll

he's the lily of the valley he's the bright and morning star

he's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul

he all my grief has taken and all my sorrows borne

in temptation he's my strong and mighty tower

i have all for him forsaken and all my idols torn

from my heart and now i know he'll keep me by his power

though all the world forsake me and old satan he tempts me sore

through jesus i shall safely reach that goal

he's the lily of the valley he's the bright and morning star

he's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul

he will never never leave me nor yet forsake me here

while i live by faith and do his blessed will

it's a wall of fire about me but i've nothing now to fear

with his manna he my hungry soul is gonna fill

then i'll go sweeping up to glory to see his blessed face

where rivers of delight shall ever roll

he's the lily of the valley he's the bright and morning star

he's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul
