- 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
- 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 my own I call, I hold it for the Giver
My heart, my strength, my life, my all are His, and His forever
- I've found a Friend, oh, such a Friend! All power 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
- I've found a Friend, oh, such a Friend! So kind, and true, and tender
So wise a Counsellor and Guide, so mighty a Defender!
From Him, who loves me now so well, what power my soul can sever?
Shall life or death, or earth or hell? No; I am His forever
