Lily Of The Valley    (1881)

I've found a friend in Jesus, He's ev'rything 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 ev'ry care on Him to Roll

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 tow'r
I have all for Him forsaken, and all my idols torn
From my heart and now He keeps me by His pow'r
Though all the world forsake me, and Satan tempt me sore,
Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal.

He's the "Lily of the Valley," 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
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 blessed face,
Where rivers of delight shall ever roll.

He's the "Lily of the Valley," the Bright and Morning Star
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.
