The New Praiseworthy ‎#117

117. I've Found a Friend

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.

Chorus:
I love to sing of such a Friend,
Whose love no pow'r can sever;
My heart, my strength, my life, my all,
Are His and His forever.

2 I’ve found a Friend, O such a Friend!
He bled, He died to save me;
And not alone the gift of love,
But His own life He gave me. [Chorus]

4 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. [Chorus]
