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 Those ties which nought can sever, For I am His, and He is mine, For ever and for ever. 2 I've found a Friend; O, such a Friend! He bled, He died to save me; And not alone the gift of life, But His own self He gave me. Nought 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 for ever. 3 I've found a Friend; O, 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 endeavour: So now to watch, to work, to war, And then to rest for ever. 4 I've found a Friend; O, 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 can sever? Shall life or death, or earth or hell? No! I am His for ever. Used With Tune: CONSTANCE
