The Cyber Hymnal ‎#4474

4474. My Wonderful Friend

1. I found such a wonderful Savior
In Jesus, my Lord and my king!
Undying and true His devotion;
My heart shall his glad praises sing.

Refrain
Oh, what a wonderful Savior is He!
Constant and true is Jesus.
More than I fancied He ever could be
Is Jesus, my wonderful friend.

2. Surpassing the love that a mother
May have for the child of her care;
The love of a sister or brother
With His we can never compare. [Refrain]

3. The pleasures the world could afford me
Are naught to compare with His joy;
The rapture and peace that He gives me,
Earth’s sorrows can never destroy. [Refrain]

4. When sorrows and pain are my portion,
When tears of bereavement must fall,
My Savior, my friend, my companion,
Will comfort and keep through it all. [Refrain]

5. When tempests around me are sweeping,
My pilot and guide He will be;
And safe is my soul in His keeping,
My mighty deliv’rer is he. [Refrain]
