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,
Forever And Forever.

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 Forever.

I’ve Found A Friend, Oh, Such A Friend!
All Power To Him Is Given,
To Guard Me On My Onward Course,
And Bring Me Safe To Heaven.
The Eternal Glories Gleam Afar,
To Nerve My Faint Endeavour;
So Now To Watch, To Work, To War,
And Then To Rest Forever.

I’ve Found A Friend, Oh, Such A Friend!
So Kind And True And Tender,
So Wise A Counselor And Guide,
So Mighty A Defender!
From Him Who Loves Me Now So Well
What Power My Soul Can Sever?
Shall Life Or Death, Shall Earth Or Hell?
No! I Am His Forever.
