The Great Awakening ‎#53

53. The Lily of the Valley

1 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 every 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.

Chorus:
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, the bright and morning Star,
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.

2 He all my griefs has taken, and all my sorrows borne;
In temptation He's my strong and mighty tower;
I’ve all for Him forsaken, I’ve all my idols torn
From my heart, and now He keeps me by His power.
Tho’ all the world forsake me, and Satan tempts me sore,
Thro’ 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. [Chorus]

3 He'll 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:
With the manna He my hungry soul shall fill;
Then sweeping up to glory, we 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. [Chorus]
