3. I’ve 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.

4. In sorrow He’s my comfort,
in trouble He’s my stay; He tells me every care on Him to roll.

5. He’s the Lily of the Valley,
the Bright and Morning Star, He’s the Fairest of Ten Thousand to my soul.

6. 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 power.

7. Though all the world forsake me,
and Satan tempt me sore, Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal.

8. He’s the Lily of the Valley,
the Bright and Morning Star, He’s the Fairest of Ten Thousand to my soul.

9. He’ll never, never leave me, I’ve nothing now to fear,
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,

10. 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.

11. He’s the Lily of the Valley,
the Bright and Morning Star, He’s the Fairest of Ten Thousand to my soul.

13. Walk a Little Plainer, Daddy

14. “Walk a little plainer, daddy,” Said a little child so frail.
“I’m following in your footsteps,
And I don’t want to fail.

15. Sometimes your steps are very plain, Sometimes they’re hard to see.
So walk a little plainer daddy,
For you are leading me.”

16. “I know that once you walked this way And what you did along the way
A long, long time ago;
And what you did along the way
I’d really like to know.

17. For sometimes, when I am confused, So walk a little plainer daddy, –
I don’t know what to do.
So walk a little plainer daddy, –
So I can follow you.”

18. “Some day when I’m grown up, You’re like I want to be;
Then I will have a little child
Who will want to follow me.

19. And I would want to train her right, So walk a little plainer, daddy,
And help her to be true.
So walk a little plainer, daddy,
For we must follow you.”
