I HAVE A FRIEND SO PRECIOUS
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. He knows how
much I love Him,
He knows I love Him
well;
But with what love
He loveth me
My tongue can never
tell;
It is an
everlasting love
In ever rich
supply,
And so we love each
other,
My Lord and I.
4, 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 me how to
try,
And so we talk
together,
My Lord and I.
5. He knows how I
am longing
Some weary soul to
win,
And so He bids me
go and speak
The 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.
6. He tells me of
His Kingdom,
It is not far away;
And oh, His heart
is longing
To take me there
some day.
Immortal bliss is
waiting
And joys that never
die:
Soon there we'll
reign together,
My Lord and I.
