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, 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.
Refrain
He¡¦s the Lily of the Valley, 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 He
keeps me by His power.
Though all the world forsake me, and
Satan tempt me sore,
Through Jesus I shall safely reach the
goal.
Refrain
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,
From His manna He my
hungry soul shall fill.
Then sweeping up to glory to see His
blessed face,
Where the rivers of delight shall ever roll.
Refrain
