How the wanderers are reclaimed,
And the blind, and halt, and maimed,
Have a friend in Jesus?

A friend in need, a friend indeed,
Have you this friend in Jesus?

Into homes of want and woe,
There to let poor sinners know
What a friend in Jesus? [Refrain]

When the throbbing brow is hot,
Creature helps availing not,
Oh, how sweet is Jesus! [Refrain]

Heard those sweetest notes which tell
For condemned ones, all is well,
When they trust in Jesus? [Refrain]

In the haunts of sin and shame,
Free forgiveness in His name,
Precious name of Jesus. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Have you heard the news proclaimed]

Samuel Alman
1844 - 1911 Author of "Have You Heard?" in The Cyber Hymnal Samuel Alman was born February 6, 1844 in Wales. He enlisted in the United States Navy in 1854 as an apprentice and served until 1868. He was at the Washington Navy Yard when Lincoln was shot and was one of the few men who knew of the final disposition of J. Wilkes Booth's body, but he was sworn to secrecy. At one time he was commander-in-chief of the National Association of Naval Veterans, holding the title of Admiral. He was also chaplain of the G.A.R. and the Farragut Association of Naval Veterans. After two years of service with the United States Government, he resigned and became an evangelist, taking charge of the mission that later became Emmanuel Baptist Church in Manhattan. He was ordained in the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church in 1871 and continued serving as pastor of Emmanuel Baptist church until 1899. He wrote many hymns and compiled two hymnals. He died in June 12, 1911, in New York.
