Wonderful Friend

Author: H. H. S. Hymnal: The Golden Sheaf #190 (1902) First Line: I have a wonderful Friend Refrain First Line: O, what a Savior divine! Lyrics: 1 I have a wonderful Friend: Jesus, my Saviour is he; He whom the Father did send Down to the earth for me. O, what a Saviour divine! Pitying sinners like me! Fullness of joy I shall find in him When his dear face I see. 2 I in this Friend will abide, Faithful to him will I be; Jesus has gone to provide Mansions of joy for me. O, what a Saviour divine! Pitying sinners like me! Fullness of joy I shall find in him When his dear face I see. 3 Lost in transgression was I, Full of compassion was he; Leaving his glory on high, Bearing the cross for me! O, what a Saviour divine! Pitying sinners like me! Fullness of joy I shall find in him When his dear face I see. Tune Title: [I have a wonderful Friend]
