I have a Friend Who loveth me,
He gave His life on Calvary;
Upon the cross my sins He bore,
And I am saved forevermore.
Oh, hallelujah, He’s my Friend,
He guides me to the journey’s end,
He walks beside me all the way,
And gives to me a crown some day.
My Savior’s love so full and free
Doth light the weary way for me;
It fills with joy each passing day
And drives my sorrows all away.
Oh, hallelujah, He’s my Friend,
He guides me to the journey’s end,
He walks beside me all the way,
And gives to me a crown some day.
I have a Friend, a mighty Friend,
Upon His power I may depend;
He reigneth over every land,
O’er valley, hill, on sea and strand.
Oh, hallelujah, He’s my Friend,
He guides me to the journey’s end,
He walks beside me all the way,
And gives to me a crown some day.
O brother, join us in our song!
This Friend to you would fain belong;
Tho’ far from what you’d like to be,
His grace sufficient is for thee.
Oh, hallelujah, He’s my Friend,
He guides me to the journey’s end,
He walks beside me all the way,
And gives to me a crown some day.
