#186I've Found a Friend

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.
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.
3
I've found a Friend; oh, such a Friend! All power to Him is given; To guard me on my upward course, And bring me safe to heaven.
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.
C

Chorus

Around my heart still closely twine Those ties which naught can sever, For I am His, and He is mine, Forever and forever.
