Lily of the Valley
Words: Charles w. Fry
Tune: William S. Hays
G C G
1. I have found a friend in Jesus, He’s everything to me,
2. He all my grief has taken, and all my sorrows borne;
3. He will never, never leave me, nor yet forsake me here,
D D7
1. He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul;
2. In temptation He’s my strong and mighty tower;
3. While I live by faith and do His blessèd will;
G C G
1. The Lily of the Valley, in Him alone I see
2. I have all for Him forsaken, and all my idols torn
3. A wall of fire about me, I’ve nothing now to fear,
D D7 G G7
1. All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole.
2. From my heart and now He keeps me by His power.
3. From His manna He my hungry soul shall fill.
C G
1. In sorrow He’s my comfort, in trouble He’s my stay;
2. Though all the world forsake me, and Satan tempt me sore,
3. Then sweeping up to glory to see His blessèd face,
D D7
1. He tells me every care on Him to roll.
2. Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal.
3. Where the rivers of delight shall ever roll.
Chorus
G C G
He’s the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star,
D D7 G
He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.
