15. I Must Be True to Him

1 I have a Friend, a faithful Friend,
He died, from destruction to save me,
My hopeless cause He did defend,
And life everlasting He gave me.

Refrain:
He died, yes, He died on the cross for me,
I look’d on Him there and my soul was free,
He’s more than a brother, than father or mother,
And I must be true to Him.

2 He guides my feet along life’s way,—
‘Tis blessed to follow His leading!
And hour by hour, from day to day,
He gives me whatever I’m needing. [Refrain]

3 I live thro’ Him, He dwells in me,
And I can do nothing without Him,
Tho’ other friends may faithless be,
I never, no, never, could doubt Him. [Refrain]

4 I lay me down in peace to sleep,
I know that His eye watches o’er me,
He hath redeem’d and He will keep,
Whatever the dangers before me. [Refrain]

5 O love that hath no bound, no end;
From which life nor death can dissever!
I must be true to this dear Friend,
I’ll love Him and serve Him forever. [Refrain]
