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.
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?
O Thou, God’s precious Son,
Who gave Thy life for me,
I am so thankful,
Lord, that Thou loved me.
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?
O Thou, God’s precious Son,
Who gave Thy life for me,
I am so thankful,
Lord, that Thou loved me.
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.
O Thou, God’s precious Son,
Who gave Thy life for me,
I am so thankful,
Lord, that Thou loved me.
