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 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. Tho' all the world forsake me and Satan tempt 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. 3 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-- With 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.

The great Shepherd of the Sheep brought back from the Dead

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 285 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 13:20 First Line: Again the Lord of life and light Lyrics: 1 Again the Lord of life and light Awakes the kindling ray; Unseals the eyelids of the morn, And pours increasing day. 2 O what a night was that, which wrapp'd The heathen world in gloom! O what a sun which broke this day Triumphant from the tomb! 3 This day be grateful homage paid, And loud hosannas sung; Let gladness dwell in ev'ry heart, And praise on ev'ry tongue. 4 Ten thousand diff'ring lips shall join To hail this welcome morn, Which scatter'd blessings from its wings, To nations yet unborn. 5 Jesus, the friend of human kind, With strong compassion mov'd, Descended like a pitying God, To save the souls he lov'd. 6 The pow'rs of darkness leagu'd in vain To bind his soul in death; He shook their kingdom when he fell, With his expiring breath. 7 Not long the toils of hell could keep The hope of Judah's line; Corruption never could take hold On aught so much divine. 8 And now his conq'ring chariot wheels Ascend the lofty skies; While broke, beneath his pow'rful cross, Death's iron sceptre lies. 9 Exalted high at God's right hand, And Lord of all below, Thro' him is pard'ning love dispens'd, And boundless blessings flow. 10 And still for erring, guilty man, A brother's pity flows; And still his bleeding heart is touch'd With mem'ry of our woes. 11 To thee, my Saviour, and my King, Glad homage let me give; And stand prepar'd like thee to die, With thee that I may live.
