Author: J. G. Hymnal: Melodies of Grace and Truth #58 (1908) First Line: Lost on the pathway of sin's bitter nightfall Lyrics: 1 Lost on the pathway of sins' bitter nightfall, Dark all around me, no breaking of day; Groping so wearily, knowing not whether Light was before me or still darker way. I ne'er had a friend such as this Friend, Stooping so low, Loving me so; I ne'er had a friend such as this Friend, 'Tis heaven His friendship to know. 2 Saved by His coming, O glorious dawning, Jesus He found me when nearing the end; Freely forgave me, and lovingly saved me, Bearing my sorrow; was e'er such a Friend! I ne'er had a friend such as this Friend, Stooping so low, Loving me so; I ne'er had a friend such as this Friend, 'Tis heaven His friendship to know. 3 Sweet is the friendship of service with Jesus, Deeper the fulness of His saving grace; Filled with His gladness, and knowing no sadness, Under the sunshine of His smiling face. I ne'er had a friend such as this Friend, Stooping so low, Loving me so; I ne'er had a friend such as this Friend, 'Tis heaven His friendship to know. 4 Now in the footsteps of this Friend I follow, Half of His goodness I never can sing; Far on the home-track by faith I can see Him, Blessed Redeemer, my Saviour and King. I ne'er had a friend such as this Friend, Stooping so low, Loving me so; I ne'er had a friend such as this Friend, 'Tis heaven His friendship to know.
