The wealth of ev'ry mine
Belongs to Christ, God’s Son and Heir,
And He’s a Friend of mine.

Yes, He’s a Friend of mine
And He with me doth all things share;
Since all is Christ’s and Christ is mine,
Why should I have a care?
For Jesus is a Friend of mine.
2 The silver moon, the golden sun,
The countless stars that shine,
Are His alone, yes, ev'ry one,
And He’s a Friend of mine. [Chorus]

And at His table dine
The whole creation, man and beast,
And He’s a Friend of mine. [Chorus]
4 And when He comes in bright array,
And leads the conquering line,
It will be glory then to say,
And He’s a Friend of mine. [Chorus]
