Help! Who knows the origin of the song "Everybody ought to know ... who
Jesus is" with chorus "He´s the Lily of the Valley..."? It was popular
in the fifties. The first bars are the same as Harry Dixon Loes´
"Every Moment of the Day" and the chorus is = "What a Friend we have in
Jesus". There is a song "Everybody don´t know..." with the same
chorus but slightly different melody. It was recorded by Rev. F.W McGee
1930 and later by several New Orleans Jazz Bands. But the origin of
"Everybody ought to know"???

Thanks for your help

The Online 78-rpm Discographical Project shows that Rev. F. W. McGee recorded EVERYBODY DON'T KNOW WHO JESUS IS on April 15, 1930 and it was released as Victor 38596, b/w MY WIFE'S A HOLY ROLLER.
