I've Found a Friend

Author: J. G. Small Hymnal: Christ in Song #332 (1908) 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.
