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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.
