Redeemed from sin and Satan’s power, Bought with thy precious blood, Earth has no claims upon me now, For I belong to God. 4 My Saviour keeps me company, Friendless, and poor, and lone, Yet he bestows rich love one me, And claims me for his own. Then let the world despise me now, He loves me just the same For Jesus keeps me company, And Jesus knows my name. Tune Title: [My Savior keeps me company]
