I Have Never Found a Friend Like Jesus

Author: Lavinia E. Brauff Hymnal: Sacred Praise #125 (1912) Lyrics: 1 I have never found a friend like Jesus, So tender and so mild, And my heart rejoices in my Saviour, Who owns me as His child; I have always found Him kind and patient In hours of sore distress; I have never found a friend like Jesus, To comfort and to bless. Refrain: I have never found a friend like Jesus, Never such a friend as Jesus, I have never found a friend like Jesus, To comfort and to bless. 2 I have never found a friend like Jesus, No matter where I go; He’s the loving One who died for sinners, The One you ought to know; He will give you grace and strength to serve Him, If you His name confess; I have never found a friend like Jesus, To comfort and to bless. [Refrain] 3 I have never found a friend like Jesus, So faithful and so true; He is with me in my fields of labor, And shows me what to do; Day by day He gives me “living water,” Free grace and happiness; I have never found a friend like Jesus, To comfort and to bless. [Refrain] Tune Title: [I have never found a friend like Jesus]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[I have never found a friend like Jesus]" in Sacred Praise Pseudonyms: C. D. Emerson, Charlotte G. Homer, S. B. Jackson, A. W. Lawrence, Jennie Ree ============= For the first seventeen years of his life Charles Hutchinson Gabriel (b. Wilton, IA, 1856; d. Los Angeles, CA, 1932) lived on an Iowa farm, where friends and neighbors often gathered to sing. Gabriel accompanied them on the family reed organ he had taught himself to play. At the age of sixteen he began teaching singing in schools (following in his father's footsteps) and soon was acclaimed as a fine teacher and composer. He moved to California in 1887 and served as Sunday school music director at the Grace Methodist Church in San Francisco. After moving to Chicago in 1892, Gabriel edited numerous collections of anthems, cantatas, and a large number of songbooks for the Homer Rodeheaver, Hope, and E. O. Excell publishing companies. He composed hundreds of tunes and texts, at times using pseudonyms such as Charlotte G. Homer. The total number of his compositions is estimated at about seven thousand. Gabriel's gospel songs became widely circulated through the Billy Sunday­-Homer Rodeheaver urban crusades. Bert Polman
