1.I have a Friend so precious,So very dear to me,He loves me with such tender love,He loves so faithfully;I could not live apart from Him,I love to feel Him nigh,And so we dwell together,My Lord and I.2.Sometimes I'm faint and weary,He knows that I am weak.And as He bids me lean on Him,His help I gladly seek:He leads me in the paths of light,Beneath a sunny sky,And so we walk together, My Lord and I.3.I tell Him all my sorrows,I tell Him all my joys,I tell Him all that pleases me,I tell Him what annoys;He tells me what I ought to do,He tells how to try,And so we talk together,My Lord and I.4.He knows that I am longingSome weary soul to win,And so He bids me go and speakThe loving word for Him;He bids me tell His wondrous love,And why He came to die,And so we work together,My Lord and I.
