Program Notes:
Song of Solomon 2:1 foretells of Jesus being the "Rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys." His beauty and love are like a fragrance that draws to Him those who love Him.
Charles W. Fry wrote "The Lily of the Valley" in 1881 and set it to a popular tune written by a famous American songwriter by the name of William Shakespeare Hays. Although first published in The Salvation Army's journal "The War Cry," it soon became popular among other denominations and is now sung in many churches often being mistaken for an American gospel song of the Appalachian Shape-Note tradition.
