the lily of the valley

Lyrics

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 and 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 he's 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 i know he'll keep me by his power, though all the world forsake me and old satan he tempts me sore, through jesus i shall safely reach that goal, he's the lily of the valley he's 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, it's a wall of fire about me but i've nothing now to fear, with his manna he my hungry soul is gonna fill, then i'll go sweeping up to glory to see his blessed face, where rivers of delight shall ever roll, he's the lily of the valley he's the bright and morning star, he's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul
