1. I've found a friend in Je- sus, He's ev- ery- thing to me, He's the fair- est of ten thou- sand to my soul; The Li- ly of the Val- ley, in Him a- lone I see All I need to cleanse and make me ful- ly whole. In sor- row He's my com- fort, in trou- ble He's my stay; He tells me ev- ery care on Him to roll. He's the Li- ly of the Val- ley, the Bright and Morn- ing Star, He's the fair- est of ten thou- sand to my soul.
 
2. He all my grief has ta- ken, and all my sor- rows borne; In temp- ta- tion He's my strong and might- y tow'r; I'll all for Him for- sake now, I'll all my i- dols tear From my heart for now He keeps me by His pow'r. Though all the world for- sake me, and Sa- tan tempt me sore, Through Je- sus I shall safe- ly reach the goal. He's the Li- ly
 
3. He'll ne- ver, ne- ver leave me, nor yet for- sake me here, So I live by faith and do His bless- ed will; A wall of fire a- bout me, I've no- thing now to fear, With His man- na He my hun- gry soul shall fill. When crown'd at last in glo- ry, I'll see His bless- ed face, Where ri- vers of de- light shall ev- er roll. He's the Li- ly
