THE LILY OF THE VALLEY

I have found a friend in Jesus, He’s everything to me,

He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul,

He’s 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.

CHORUS: 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 my sorrows borne

In temptation He’s my strong and might tower

I have all for him forsaken, and my idols torn

From my hears and now he keeps me by his power

Though all the world forsake me!

And Satan tempts me so

Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal.

WHEN THE ROLL IS CALLED UP YONDER

When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound,

And time shall be no more,

And the morning breaks eternal, bright and fair;

When the saved of earth shall gather over on the other shore,

And the roll is called up yonder,

I’ll be there.

CHORUS: When the roll is called up yonder

            When the roll is called up yonder

            When the roll is called up yonder

            When the roll is called up yonder

            I’ll be there

On that bright and cloudless morning,

When the dead in Christ shall rise,

And the glory of his resurrection share;

To their home beyond the skies,

And the roll is called up yonder

I’ll be there

NEAR THE CROSS

Jesus keeps me near the cross,

There a precious fountain

Free to all a healing stream,

Flows calv’ry mountain.

CHORUS: In the cross, in the Cross,

Be my glory ever; till my rapture soul

Shall find, rest beyond the river.

Near the cross O lamb of God,

Bring its scenes before me; help me

Walk from day to day, with its shadows o’er me

Near the Cross, I’ll watch and wait

Hoping trusting ever, till I reach the golden strand

Just beyond the river
