The Lily of The Valley
Words

Song of Solomon 2:1 "I
am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys." 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's
the Lily of the Valley, 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 blessèd 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 blessèd face, Where
the rivers of delight shall ever roll. Refrain He's
the Lily of the Valley, The
Bright and Morning Star, He's
the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.
