| Text: | Jesus, our Friend |
| Author: | John Newton |
| Tune: | [One there is above all others] |
| Composer: | J. T. Hall |
1 One there is above all others,
Well deserves the name of Friend;
His is love beyond a brother’s,
Costly—free—and knows no end.
Refrain:
Sinner, can you shun the Saviour?
Can you thrust Him from your arms?
Once He died for your redemption,
Now He calls you by His charms.
2 Which of all our friends, to save us,
Could or would have shed his blood?
But this Saviour died to save us
Reconciled in Him to God! [Refrain]
3 Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!
Teach us, Lord, at length to love;
We, alas! forget too often
What a Friend we have above. [Refrain]
