I have a friend who loveth me

Nils Frykman (1895) • English

Primary Scripture: John 15:15

Verse 1

I have a friend who loveth me, He gave His life on Calvary; Upon the cross my sins He bore, And I am saved forevermore.

Chorus

Oh, hallelujah, He’s my friend, He guides me to the journey’s end, He walks beside me all the way, And gives to me a crown some day.

Verse 2

My Savior’s love so full and free Doth light the weary way for me; It fills with joy each passing day And drives my sorrows all away.

Chorus

Oh, hallelujah, He’s my friend, He guides me to the journey’s end, He walks beside me all the way, And gives to me a crown some day.

Verse 3

I have a friend, a mighty friend, Upon His power I may depend; He reigneth over every land, O’er valley, hill, on sea and strand.

Chorus

Oh, hallelujah, He’s my friend, He guides me to the journey’s end, He walks beside me all the way, And gives to me a crown some day.

Verse 4

O brother, join us in our song! This friend to you would fain belong; Tho’ far from what you’d like to be, His grace sufficient is for thee.

Chorus

Oh, hallelujah, He’s my friend, He guides me to the journey’s end, He walks beside me all the way, And gives to me a crown some day.
