Jesus! lover of my soul;
Friends may fail me, foes assail me,
He, my Savior, makes me whole.
Refrain:
Hallelujah! what a Savior!
Hallelujah! what a friend!
Saving, helping, keeping, loving,
He is with me to the end.

Let me hide myself in Him;
Tempted, tried, and sometimes failing,
He, my strength, my vict'ry wins. [Refrain]

While the billows o'er me roll,
Even when my heart is breaking,
He, my comfort, helps my soul. [Refrain]
4 Jesus! what a guide and keeper!
While the tempest still is high,
Storms about me, night o'ertakes me,
He, my pilot, hears my cry. [Refrain]
5 Jesus! I do now receive Him,
More than all in Him I find,
He hath granted me forgiveness,
I am His, and He is mine. [Refrain]

Author: Matthew Bridges; Godfrey Thring Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 798 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Crown Him with many crowns,
The Lamb upon His throne,
Hark! how the heav'nly anthem drowns
All music but its own;

Of Him who died for thee,
And hail Him as thy matchless King
Thro' all eternity.

and rose victorious in the strife
For those He came to save;
His glories now we sing
Who died, and rose on high,
Who died eternal life to bring,
And lives that death may die.
3. Crown Him the Lord of peace,
Whose pow'r a scepter sways
From pole to pole, that wars may cease,
And all be pray'r and praise:
His reign shall know no end,
and round His pierced feet
Fair flow'rs of paradise extend
Their fragrance ever sweet.
4. Crown Him the Lord of love;
Behold his hands and side,
Those wounds, yet visible above,
In beauty glorified:
All hail, Redeemer, hail!
For Thou hast died for me:
Thy praise and glory shall not fail
Thro-out eternity. Scripture: Revelation 19:12 Used With Tune: DIADEMATA

Lie bare before his gaze.

The heavens held their breath,
To see, triumphant from the tomb,
A love that conquers death.

Author: James G. Small Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 391 hymnals First Line: I've found a friend, O such a friend! Lyrics: 1. I've found a friend, O such a friend!
Christ loved me ere I knew Him

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 Christ is mine,
Forever and forever.

He bled, he died to save me;

I 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:
Th'eternal glories gleam 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 or earth or hell?
No, I am his forever. Scripture: Proverbs 17:17 Used With Tune: FRIEND

That might this music hear.
