The Lily of the Valley

Main subject: Jesus/Saviour

Scripture: Song of Solomon 2:1









              1. I have found a friend in Jesus, He’s 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.
                • Refrain:
                  He’s the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star,
                  He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.
              2. He all my grief has taken, and all my sorrows borne;
                In temptation He’s my strong and mighty tow’r;
                I have 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.
              3. He will 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.

At Calvary

William R. Newell, 1895
Copyright: Public Domain
Main subject: Jesus, Saviour
Scripture: Luke 23:33


        1. Years I spent in vanity and pride,
          Caring not my Lord was crucified,
          Knowing not it was for me He died
          On Calvary.
          • Refrain:
            Mercy there was great, and grace was free;
            Pardon there was multiplied to me;
            There my burdened soul found liberty
            At Calvary.
        2. By God’s Word at last my sin I learned;
          Then I trembled at the law I’d spurned,
          Till my guilty soul imploring turned
          To Calvary.
        3. Now I’ve giv’n to Jesus everything,
          Now I gladly own Him as my King,
          Now my raptured soul can only sing
          Of Calvary!
        4. Oh, the love that drew salvation’s plan!
          Oh, the grace that brought it down to man!
          Oh, the mighty gulf that God did span
          At Calvary!

In The Garden

Scripture: John 20:15-16

        1. I come to the garden alone,
          While the dew is still on the roses,
          And the voice I hear falling on my ear
          The Son of God discloses.
          • Refrain:
            And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
            And He tells me I am His own;
            And the joy we share as we tarry there,
            None other has ever known.
        2. He speaks, and the sound of His voice
          Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
          And the melody that He gave to me
          Within my heart is ringing.
        3. I’d stay in the garden with Him,
          Though the night around me be falling,
          But He bids me go; through the voice of woe
          His voice to me is calling.
