Author: John Newton Hymnal: Living Hymns #384 (1890) 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 this Saviour died, to have us,
Reconciled in him to God.
3 When he lived on earth, abased,
Friend of Sinners was his name;
Now, above all glory raised,
He rejoices in the same.
4 Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!
Teach us, Lord! at length to love;
We alas! forget too often
What a Friend we have above.
