Glad Gospel Songs ‎#3

3. A Wonderful Friend

1 A wonderful Friend is my Saviour and Lord,
More precious eternally;
I drink at the fountain of His living word,
And partake of His mercy free.

Refrain:
“A wonderful Friend is Jesus,
A wonderful Friend is He;
He cleanses from sin,
Gives a new life within,
A wonderful Friend is He.”

2 How blessed the hour when I turned to the Light,
When Jesus who suffers long,
Redeemed my poor soul by the pow’r of His might,
Filled my heart with His joy and song! [Refrain]

3 The glad news of life I rejoice to repeat,
To witness His saving grace;
And some day His love will my rapture complete,
When in glory I see His face! [Refrain]
