Author: James G. Small Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 391 hymnals Topics: The Way of Salvation Union with Christ 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'll 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! All pow'r to him is given, to guard me on my onward course, and bring me safe to heaven: eternal glory gleams 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, O 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 pow'r my soul can sever? Shall life or death, shall earth or hell? No! I am his forever. Scripture: John 15:13 Used With Tune: CONSTANCE
