I've Found a Friend

Author: J. G. Small Appears in 398 hymnals Topics: Special Selections Solos First Line: I've found a Friend; oh, such a Friend! Lyrics: 1 I've found a Friend; oh, 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. And 'round my heart still closely twine These 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 my own I call, I 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 pow'r to Him is given; To guard me on my upward 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 Counselor and Guide, So mighty a Defender. From Him, who loveth me so well, What pow'r my soul can sever? Shall life or death, or earth or hell? No; I am His forever. Used With Tune: FRIEND

In Heavenly Love Abiding

Author: Anna L. Waring Appears in 586 hymnals Topics: Special Selections Choir or Quartet First Line: In heav'nly love abiding Lyrics: 1 In heav'nly love abiding, No change my heart shall fear; And safe is such confiding, For nothing changes here. The storm may roar without me, My heart may low be laid, But God is round about me, And can I be dismayed? But God is round about me, And can I be dismayed? 2 Wherever he may guide me, No want shall turn me back; My Shepherd is beside me, And nothing can I lack. His wisdom ever waketh, His sight is never dim, He knows the way he taketh, And I will walk with him, He knows the way he taketh, And I will walk with him. 3 Green pastures are before me, Which yet I have not seen; Bright skies will soon be o'er me, Where darkest clouds have been. My hope I cannot measure, My path to life is free, My Saviour has my treasure, And he will walk with me, My Saviour has my treasure, And he will walk with me.

In the Hour of Trial

Author: J. Montgomery Appears in 505 hymnals Topics: Special Selections Choir or Quartet Lyrics: 1 In the hour of trial, Father, strengthen me; Lest by base denial, I depart from thee. When thou see'st me waver, With a touch recall, Nor from thy dear favor, Suffer me to fall. 2 With forbidden pleasures Would this vain world charm, Or its sordid treasures Spread to work me harm; By thy love sustaining, Father keep thy child; All my foes restraining, And my passions wild. 3 Should thy mercy send me Sorrow, care, and woe; Or should pain attend me On my path below: Grant that I may never Fail thy hand to see; Grant that I may ever Cast my care on thee. Amen. Used With Tune: PENITENCE

Appears in 146 hymnals Topics: Special Selections Choir or Quartet First Line: My life flows on in endless song Lyrics: 1 My life flows on in endless song; Amid earth's lamentation, I hear the sweet, tho' far-off hymn That hails a new creation; Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul, How can I keep from singing? 2 What tho' my joys and comforts die, The Lord my Helper liveth! What tho' the darkness gather round; Songs in the night he giveth! No storm can shake my inmost calm While to that refuge clinging; Since God is Lord of heav'n and earth, How can I keep from singing? 3 I lift mine eyes; the cloud grows thin; I see the blue above it; And day by day this pathway smooths Since first I learned to love it. The peace of God makes fresh my heart, A fountain ever springing; All things are mine, since I am His How can I keep from singing? Used With Tune: MATERNA
