  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.
  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 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, oh, 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, 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 pow’r my soul can sever?
    Shall life or death, shall earth or hell?
    No! I am His forever.
