Author: C. Winkworth Appears in 115 hymnals First Line: Since Jesus is my friend Lyrics: 1 Since Jesus is my friend,
And I to him belong,
It matters not what foes intend,
However fierce and strong.
2 He whispers in my breast
Sweet words of holy cheer,
How they who seek in God their rest
Shall ever find him near;
3 How God hath built above
A city fair and new,
Where eye and heart shall see and prove
What faith has counted true.
4 My heart for gladness springs;
It cannot more be sad;
For very joy it smiles and sings,
Sees naught but sunshine glad.
5 The sun that lights mine eyes
Is Christ, the Lord I love;
I sing for joy of that which lies
Stored up for me above. Topics: Love, and Communion With Christ; Christ Character of; Christ Friend; Christians Love for Christ; Heirship; Joy; Love For the Saviour; Christ Character of; Christ Friend; Christians Love for Christ; Heirship; Joy; Love For the Saviour Used With Tune: GREENWOOD
