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
