I've Found a Friend

Verse 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 naught can sever, For I am His, and He is mine, Forever and forever.

Verse 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. Naught 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.

Verse 3

I’ve found a Friend, O such a Friend! So kind and true and tender, So wise a counsellor and guide, So mighty a defender! From Him who loves me now so well, What power my soul shall sever? Shall life or death, shall earth or hell? No! I am His forever.
