Author: James G. Small Hymnal: The Hymnbook #220 (1955) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 I've found a Friend, O such a Friend!
He loved me ere I knew Him;
He drew me with the cords of love,
And thus He bound me to Him;
And round my heart still closely twine
Those ties which nought can sever,
For I am His, and He is mine,
Forever and forever.
2 I've found a Friend, O such a Friend!
He bled, He died to save me;
And not alone the gift of life,
But His own self He gave me!
Nought that I have mine own I call,
I'll hold it for the Giver,
My heart, my strength, my life, my all
Are His, and His forever.
3 I've found a Friend, O such a Friend!
So kind and true and tender,
So wise a Counselor and Guide,
So mighty a Defender!
From Him who loves me now so well
What power my soul can sever?
Shall life or death, shall earth or hell?
No! I am His forever.
Amen. Topics: Christ Friend; Christ Presence; Commitment; Jesus Christ His Presence Scripture: Proverbs 18:24 Tune Title: CONSTANCE
I've Found a Friend, O Such a Friend!
