Lyrics

GI have found a friend in CJesus, He's D7everything to Gme,

He's the fairest of ten thousand D7to my soul;

The GLily of the Valley, in CHim alone I Gsee

All I need to cleanse and make me D7fully Gwhole.

In Gsorrow He's my comfort, in Ctrouble He's my Gstay,

He tells me every D7care on Him to Groll.

Chorus

He's the GLily of the Valley, the CBright and Morning GStar,

He's the D7fairest of ten thousand to my Gsoul.

Verse 2

He all my Ggrief has taken, and Call my sorrows Gborne,

In temptation He's my strong and mighty D7tower;

I have Gall for Him forsaken, and Call my idols Gtorn

From my heart, and now He keeps me D7by His Gpower.

Though Gall the world forsake me, and CSatan tempt me Gsore,

Through Jesus I shall D7safely reach the Ggoal.

Verse 3

He will Gnever, never leave me, nor Cyet forsake me Ghere,

While I live by faith and do His blessèd D7will;

A wall of Gfire about me, I've Cnothing now to Gfear,

From His manna He my hungry soul shall D7fill.

Then Gsweeping up to glory to Csee His blessèd Gface,

Where the rivers of deD7light shall ever Groll.
