My Lord and I

Appears in 113 hymnals Hymnal Title: Gold Tried in the Fire First Line: I have a Friend so precious Refrain First Line: No never alone, no, never alone Lyrics: 1 I have a Friend so precious, So very dear to me, He loves me with a tender love, He loves me faithfully; I could not live apart from Him, I love to feel Him nigh; And so we dwell together, My precious Lord and I. Chorus: No never alone, no, never alone! He promised never to leave me, Never to leave me alone. 2 Sometimes I’m faint and weary, He knows that I am weak; And as He bids me lean on Him, His help I’ll gladly seek; He leads me in the path of light, Beneath a sunny sky; And so we walk together, My precious Lord and I. [Chorus] 3 I tell Him all my sorrows, I tell Him all my joys, I tell Him all that pleases me, I tell Him what annoys; He tells me what I ought to do, Hs tells me what to try; And so we talk together, My precious Lord and I. [Chorus] 4 He knows how I am longing Some weary soul to win, Back to the ways of righteousness From weary paths of sin; He bids me tell His wondrous love, And why He came to die; And so we work together, My precious Lord and I. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [I have a Friend so precious]

Anonymous

Person Name: Anon. Hymnal Title: Choice Hymns No. 1 Author of "My Lord and I" in Choice Hymns No. 1 In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
