Down In The Valley 'Midst Lilies

Down in the valley 'midst lilies sweet scented,

There is the Friend Whom I love and revere.

Oh, I will follow His steps so contented

As on the breeze His sweet Name I can hear.

Refrain

O Thou, God's precious Son,

Who gave Thy life for me,

I am so thankful, Lord, that Thou loved me.

Thee I am seeking, oh, heed my imploring;

Whither in fragrance dost Thou take repose?

Where Thou at midday Thy flock art restoring,

Shaded from heat where the clear fountain flows?

Refrain

Now I have found Thee, O Jesus, my Savior;

Let me eternally say, Thou art mine.

Hide not Thy face from the soul seeking favor;

Hast Thou not sought me and said I am Thine?

Refrain

Sweet as Thy voice have the angels ne'er spoken;

Soft as Thy smile can the light never be.

Press me so near to Thy heart in love's token.

Oh, to be Thine, that means heaven to me.

Refrain
