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
