And round my heart still closely twine Those ties which naught can sever, For I am His, and He is mine, Forever and forever. 2 I’ve found a Friend, oh, such a Friend! He bled, He died to save me; And not alone the gift of life, But His own Self He gave me. Naught that I have mine own I call, I’ll hold it for the Giver; My heart, my strength, my life, my all Are His, and His forever. 3 I’ve found a Friend, oh, such a Friend! All power to Him is given, To guard me on my onward course, And bring me safe to heaven. Th'eternal glories gleam afar, To nerve my faint endeavor; So now to watch, to work, to war; And then to rest forever. 4 I’ve found a Friend, oh, such a Friend! So kind, and true, and tender, So wise a Counsellor and Guide, So mighty a Defender! From Him who loves me now so well What power my soul shall sever? Shall life or death, or earth or hell? No; I am His forever. Used With Tune: [I've found a Friend, oh, such a Friend!]
