One There Is Above All Others

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 689 hymnals Topics: Way of Salvation Faith and Justification 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. They who once His kindness prove Find it everlasting love. 2 Which of all our friends, to save us, Could or would have shed his blood? But this Saviour died to have us Reconciled in Him to God: This was boundless love indeed; Jesus is a Friend in need. 3 When He lived on earth abasèd, Friend of sinners was His Name: Now, above all glory raisèd, He rejoices in the same: Still He calls them brethren, friends, And to all their wants attends. 4 O for grace our hearts to soften! Teach us, Lord, at length to love. We, alas, forget too often, What a Friend we have above: But when home our souls are brought, We will love Thee as we ought. Amen.

Amen. Used With Tune: CROSS OF JESUS

I was a wayward child, I did not love my home; I did not love my Father's voice, I loved afar to roam. 2 The Shepherd sought His sheep, The Father sought His child; They followed me o'er vale and hill, O'er deserts waste and wild: They found me nigh to death, Famished, and faint, and lone; They bound me with the bands of love, They found the wandering one. 3 Jesus my Shepherd is, 'Twas He that loved my soul. 'Twas He that washed me in His blood, 'Twas He that made me whole. 'Twas He that sought the lost, That found the wandering sheep; 'Twas He that brought me to the fold, 'Tis He that still doth keep. 4 I was a wandering sheep, I would not be controlled; But now I love my Shepherd's voice, I love, I love the fold! I was a wayward child, I once preferred to roam; But now I love my Father's voice, I love, I love His home. Amen. Used With Tune: LEBANON
