VERSE 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,
Forever and forever.
VERSE 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 my own I call,
I hold it for the Giver:
My heart, my strength, my life, my all
Are His, and His for ever.
VERSE 3
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.
Eternal glories gleam afar,
To nerve my faint endeavour;
So now to watch, to work, to war,
And then to rest for ever.
VERSE 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, or earth, or hell?
No! I am His for ever.
