I am looking for translations for the hymn - "He's the Lily of the Valley" which begins "I have found a friend in Jesus, He's everything to me..."

also for a chorus,"My soul does magnify the Lord"

HELP?

He's the Lily of the Valley/En Cristo Hallo Amigo

The English version uses the same chorus while the Spanish version doesn't seem to repeat a chorus

He's the Lily of the Valley

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 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

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 tempts me sore
Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal

Chorus

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
Then sweeping up to glory, to see His blessed face
Where rivers of delight shall ever roll

Chorus

En Cristo Hallo Amigo

1. En Cristo hallo amigo y amante Salvador
Contaré, pues, cuanto ha hecho Él por mí
Hallándome perdido e indigno pecador
Rescatóme y hoy me guarda para Sí
Me salva del pecado, me guarda de Satán
Promete estar conmigo siempre aquí
Consuela mi tristeza, me quita todo afán
Grandes cosas Cristo ha hecho ya por mí

2. Jesús jamás me falta, jamás me dejará
Es mi fuerte y poderoso protector
Del mundo hoy me aparto, de toda vanidad
Para consagrar la vida a mi Señor
Si el mundo me persigue, si sufro tentación
Confiando en Él podré vencer aquí
Segura es la victoria, y elevo mi canción
Grandes cosas Cristo ha hecho ya por mí

3. Bien sé que Cristo en gloria muy pronto volverá
Y entre tanto me prepara un bello hogar
En la casa de mi Padre, mansión de luz y paz
El creyente fiel con Él ha de morar
Y entrado en Su gloria, pesar no sentiré
Pues contemplaré Su rostro siempre allí
Con los santos redimidos gozoso cantaré
Grandes cosas Cristo ha hecho ya por mí

It's an old-time hymn but a good one nonetheless.

We are singing this one this week - perfect timing - thanks so much for sharing that!!!! I have a copy of the Himnario Bautista (©1978), and it's on my 'to do' list to go through these lyrics to match with songs we sing, but that will be after school is out in two weeks... and I suspect that it may be in their since it is a well-known song - but my copy of the Himnario has no music, just lyrics, and of course, no English cross-reference. Our church typically does blended worship where I pair an older hymn with a newer chorus. It works for us!

I so appreciate you taking the time to share this with me!

Did you need the musical chords to this song? It's in the Adventist Spanish hymnal as well and one of the favorites at my church. This hymn is not on my website because I don't put too many hymns there, only a few.

You are so kind to ask - I actually have the music in a couple of hymnals. My comment about the hymnario not having music was that since the index is in Spanish, and there are many songs, such as Lily of the Valley that the title is not a direct translation in Spanish, so I am having to research a little for some of them to figure out exactly what English song some of the Spanish titles match up to.

After school is out in a few weeks, I plan to work on that project. I've taken to sticking my hymnario in my purse and when I have a few moments will look at a couple of songs and mentally try to match up music to the words - I've identified more than a dozen that way...

Thank you so much for offering the music, though - I really appreciate it very much!
