The Lily of the Valley: A Deep Meditation on Comfort (Song of Solomon 2:1) | Christian Instrumental
Find peace and spiritual refreshment in this beautiful instrumental rendition of “The Lily of the Valley.” Let the soul-stirring melody remind you that Jesus is the “fairest of ten thousand” and your constant comfort in every season.

The Scriptural Foundation
The inspiration for this timeless hymn is drawn from the poetic beauty of Song of Solomon 2:1:
“I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.” It further reflects the promise of Revelation 22:16, portraying Christ as the “Bright and Morning Star”—our strongest tower in times of trouble and a friend who stays closer than a brother.

Historical Context
Written by William Charles Fry (1838–1882), a leader in the Salvation Army, this hymn was originally set to a popular melody of the 19th century. Fry, a bricklayer by trade, captured the essence of personal devotion and the joy of finding total sufficiency in Jesus.

Hymn Lyrics (Part I)
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 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.

Hymn Lyrics (Part II)
2
He all my grief has taken and all my sorrows borne;
In temptation He’s my strong and mighty tower;
I have all for Him forsaken and all my idols torn
From my heart and now He keeps me by His power.
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,
With His manna He my hungry soul shall fill.
