I've Found a Friend

Author: James G. Small Appears in 395 hymnals Topics: Christ Friend; Christ Friend First Line: I've found a Friend, oh, such a Friend! Lyrics: 1 I’ve found a Friend; oh, such a Friend! He loved me ere I knew Him; He drew me with the cords of love, And thus He bound me to Him; And round my heart still closely twine Those ties which naught can sever, For I am His, and He is mine, For ever and for ever. 2 I’ve found a Friend; oh, such a Friend! He bled, He died to save me; And not alone the gift of life, But His own Self He gave me. Naught that I have mine own I call, I’ll hold it for the Giver; My heart, my strength, my life, my all Are His, and His for ever. 3 I’ve found a Friend; oh, such a Friend! All pow'r to Him is given, To guard me on my onward course, And bring me safe to heaven: Eternal glories gleam afar, To nerve my faint endeavor; So now to watch, to work, to war; And then to rest forever. 4 I’ve found a Friend; oh, such a Friend, So kind and true and tender! So wise a Counsellor and Guide, So mighty a Defender! From Him who loves me now so well What power my soul shall sever? Shall life or death, shall earth or hell? No; I am His forever. Used With Tune: [I've found a Friend, oh, such a Friend!]

What a Friend We Have in Jesus

Author: Joseph M. Scriven Appears in 1,755 hymnals Topics: Christ Friend; Christ Friend Lyrics: 1 What a friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry Everything to God in prayer! Oh, what peace we often forfeit, Oh, what needless pain we bear, All because we do not carry Everything to God in prayer! 2 Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged, Take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so faithful, Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness; Take it to the Lord in prayer. 3 Are we weak and heavy-laden, Cumbered with a load of care? Precious Savior, still our refuge-— Take it to the Lord in prayer. Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer; In His arms He’ll take and shield thee, Thou wilt find a solace there.
