I've found a Friend

Author: Anon. Hymnal: JW1878 #8 (1879) Person Name: Anon. 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 Those 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 power to him is given To guard me in my onward 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, so true, and tender, So wise a counselor 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 forever. Languages: English Tune Title: [I've found a friend, oh, such a friend!]

One Step More

Author: Anon. Hymnal: JW1878 #81 (1879) Person Name: Anon. First Line: What though before me it is dark Refrain First Line: One step more one step more Lyrics: 1 What though before me it is dark, Too dark for me to see; I ask but light for one step more, 'Tis quite enough for me. Each little humble step I take, The gloom clears from the next; So though 'tis very dark beyond, I never am perplexed. Chorus: One step more one step more, I ask but light for one step more; So tho' 'tis very dark beyond, I ask but light for one step more. 2 And, if sometimes in the mist hangs close, So, close I fear to stray, Patient I wait a little while, And soon it clears away. I would not see my future, For mercy veils it so; My present steps might harder be Did I the future know. [Chorus] 3 Perhaps my path is very short, My journey nearly done, And I might tremble at the thought Of ending it so soon. Or, if I saw a weary length Of road that I must wend, Fainting, I'd say, "My feeble powers Will fail me at the end." [Chorus] 4 And so I do not wish to see My journey and its length, Assured that through my Father's love Each step will bring its strength. Thus step by step I onward go, Not looking far before; Trusting that I shall always have Light for just "one step more." [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [What though before me it is dark]
