I have found a friend in Jesus, He's everything to me
He's the fairest of ten thousands 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.
He's the Lilly of the valley,
The bright and morning star.
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.
1. 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 my goal.
2. He will never ever leave me nor yet forsake me here
While I live by faith and Do His blessed 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 blessed face
Where the rivers of delight shall ever roll.
