Author: James G. Small, 1817-1888 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #309 (2011) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Hymnal Title: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal First Line: I've found a Friend, O such a Friend! Lyrics: 1 I’ve found a Friend, O 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,
Forever and forever.
2 I’ve found a Friend, O 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 forever.
3 I’ve found a Friend, O 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. Topics: The Christian Life Prayer and Intercession; Jesus Friend; Jesus Love; Jesus Passion Scripture: John 15:13 Languages: English Tune Title: CONSTANCE
