Author: J. Newton Hymnal: Christ in Song #171 (1908) First Line: One there is above all others Lyrics: 1 One there is above all others,
Well deserves the name of Friend;
His is love beyond a brother's,
Costly, free, and knows no end.
2 Which of all our friends, to save us,
Could or would have shed his blood?
But our Jesus died to have us
Reconciled in him to God.
3 O for grace our hearts to soften!
Teach us, Lord, to truly love;
We, alas! forget too often
What a Friend we have above. Topics: Christ Christ Precious; Christ Christ Precious Languages: English Tune Title: DORRNANCE
