1 I’ve found a Fiend; 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 nought can sever, For I am His, and He is mine, For ever and for ever. 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. Nought 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 for ever. 3 I’ve found a Friend; O 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 for ever. 4 I’ve found a Friend! O such a Friend, So kind, and true, and tender, So wise a counselor and Guide, So might a Defender, From Him who loves me now so well, What power my soul shall sever? Shall life or death, shall earth or hell? No! I am His for ever.
