1. I have found a friend in Jesus
He’s ev’ry thing 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 ev’ry care on Him to roll.
He is the lily of the valley that bright and morning star
He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul-
He keeps me by His pow’r.
2. He all my grief has taken and all my sorrows borne
In temptation He’s my strong and mighty tow’r
I have all for Him forsaken
and all my idols torn
From my heart and now
He keeps me by His pow’r
Though all the world forsake me
And satan tempts me sore
Though Jesus I shall safely reach the goal.
3. He will never, never leave me
Nor yet for sake me here
While I live by faith
And do His blessed will
A wall of fire about me
I’ve nothing now to fear
With His manna
He my hungry soul shall fill
Then sweeping up to glory
I’ll see His blessed face
Where rivers of delight shall ever roll!
