The Golden Sheaf ‎#190

190. Wonderful Friend

1 I have a wonderful Friend:
Jesus, my Saviour is he;
He whom the Father did send
Down to the earth for me.
O, what a Saviour divine!
Pitying sinners like me!
Fullness of joy I shall find in him
When his dear face I see.

2 I in this Friend will abide,
Faithful to him will I be;
Jesus has gone to provide
Mansions of joy for me.
O, what a Saviour divine!
Pitying sinners like me!
Fullness of joy I shall find in him
When his dear face I see.

3 Lost in transgression was I,
Full of compassion was he;
Leaving his glory on high,
Bearing the cross for me!
O, what a Saviour divine!
Pitying sinners like me!
Fullness of joy I shall find in him
When his dear face I see.
