61. I Wish You Knew Him

1 I know a Friend who is faithful,
So tender and sweet a Friend;
With all my heart I have promised
To follow him to the end.

Refrain:
And oh, I wish you would know him,
So happy then you would be;
For this dear Friend is the Savior
Who suffered for you and me.

2 It matters not what betides me,
His love is the same each day;
Within his bosom he hides me,
Each step of the homeward way. [Refrain]

3 His smile is joy, and its sunshine
Doth always from care release;
His voice is comfort for sorrow;
The touch of his hand is peace. [Refrain]

4 I know that he will be always
As loving and kind and true;
His love for me naught can measure,
His love is the same for you. [Refrain]
