       C                             F             C
I Have Found A Friend In Jesus, He’s Everything To Me,

The Lily Of The Valley, In Him Alone I See,
      C                   G             C
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.

O He All My Grief Has Taken, And All My Sorrows Borne,

I Have All For Him Forsaken, And All My Idols Torn,

From My Heart, And Now He Keeps Me By His Power.

Through Jesus I Shall Safely Reach The Goal;

He Will Never, Never Leave Me, Nor Yet Forsake Me Here

While I Live By Faith And Do His Blessed Will;
  C                           F
A Wall Of Fire About Me, I’ve Nothing Now To Fear,
         C           G                 C
With His Manna He My Hungry Soul Shall Fill.
     F                        C
Then Sweeping Up To Glory, To See His Blessed Face,
                                   G
Where Rivers Of Delight Shall Ever Roll!
Chorus

He’s The Lily Of The Valley, The Bright And Morning Star
