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.

    And round my heart still closely twine

       Those ties which naught can sever,

    For I am His, and He is mine,

       Forever and forever.

 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.

    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.

 3  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.
