The Lily of the Valley

Author: Charles W. Fry Meter: Irregular Appears in 393 hymnals Scripture: Song of Solomon 2:1 First Line: I have found a friend in Jesus Refrain First Line: Lily of the valley Lyrics: 1. I have 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. 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. 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. 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.

Hymn 69

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 51 hymnals Scripture: Song of Solomon 2:8-13 First Line: The voice of my Beloved sounds Lyrics: The voice of my Beloved sounds Over the rocks and rising grounds; O'er hills of guilt and seas of grief He leaps, he flies to my relief. Now through the veil of flesh I see With eyes of love he looks at me; Now in the gospel's clearest glass He shows the beauties of his face. Gently he draws my heart along, Both with his beauties and his tongue; "Rise," saith my Lord, "make haste away, No mortal joys are worth thy stay. "The Jewish wintry state is gone, The mists are fled, the spring comes on; The sacred turtle-dove we hear Proclaim the new, the joyful year. "Th' immortal vine of heav'nly root Blossoms, and buds, and gives her fruit:" Lo! we are come to taste the wine; Our souls rejoice, and bless the vine. And when we hear our Jesus say, "Rise up, my love, make haste away!" Our hearts would fain outfly the wind, And leave all earthly loves behind.

Author: Henry Francis Lyte (1793-1847) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,669 hymnals Scripture: Song of Solomon 2:17 Lyrics: 1 Abide with me: fast falls the eventide; the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide: when other helpers fail, and comforts flee, help of the helpless, O abide with me. 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; change and decay in all around I see: O thou who changest not, abide with me. 3 I need thy presence every passing hour; what but thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me. 4 I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless; ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness: where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still if thou abide with me. 5 Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes, shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies; heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee: in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

By cool Siloam's shady rill

Author: Heber Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 605 hymnals Scripture: Song of Solomon 2:1 Lyrics: 1 By cool Siloam's shady rill How sweet the lily grows; How sweet the breath, beneath the hill, Of Sharon's dewy rose! 2 Lo! such the child whose early feet The paths of peace have trod, Whose secret heart, with influence sweet, Is upward drawn to God. 3 By cool Siloam's shady rill The lily must decay; The rose, that blooms beneath the hill, Must shortly fade away. 4 And soon, too soon, the wintry hour Of man's maturer age Will shake the soul with sorrow's power And stormy passion's rage. 5 O thou who givest life and breath, We seek thy grace alone, In childhood, manhood, age, and death, To keep us still thine own.

Lo! How a Rose E'er Blooming

Author: Theodore Baker; Harriet Krauth Spaeth Meter: Irregular Appears in 101 hymnals Scripture: Song of Solomon 2:1 Lyrics: 1 Lo! how a rose e'er blooming from tender stem hath sprung, of Jesse's lineage coming, as saints of old have sung. It came a floweret bright, amid the cold of winter, when half spent was the night. 2 Isaiah 'twas foretold it, the Rose I have in mind; with Mary we behold it, the Virgin Mother kind. To show God's love aright, she bore to us a Savior, when half spent was the night. 3 This Flower, whose fragrance tender with sweetness fills the air, dispels with glorious splendor the darkness everywhere. True man, yet very God, from sin and death he saves us and lightens every load.
