|
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, 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. |
|
|
|
Refrain |
|
|
|
He’s the Lily of the Valley,
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 He keeps me by His power. |
|
Though all the world forsake me, and Satan tempt me sore, |
|
Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal. |
|
|
|
Refrain |
|
|
|
He will never, never leave me, nor yet forsake me here, |
|
While I live by faith and do His blessèd will; |
|
A wall of fire about me, I’ve nothing now to fear, |
|
From His manna He my hungry soul shall fill. |
|
Then sweeping up to glory to see His blessèd face, |
|
Where the rivers of delight shall ever roll. |
|
