   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.
