i have found a friend in jesus

I have found a friend in Jesus
He is everything to me
He s the fairest of ten thousand 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 Lily of the Valley
the Bright and Morning Star
He s the fairest of ten
thousand to my soul
He all my grief has taken
and all my sorrows borne
In temptation He s my strong
and mighty tow r
I ve all for Him forsaken
and all my idols torn
From my heart and now
He keeps me by His pow r
Though all the world forsake me
and Satan tempt me sore
Through Jesus I shall safely
reach the goal
He ll never never 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 rivers of delight
shall ever roll
