Text:This Wonderful Friend of Mine
Author:Lizzie DeArmond
Tune:[He lifted me out of the darkness of night]
Composer:C. Harold Lowden

26. This Wonderful Friend of Mine

1 He lifted me out of the darkness of night
Where heaven’s own light doth shine,
He gave me a song that my heart doth delight,
This wonderful Friend of mine.

Refrain:
This wonderful Friend, this wonderful Friend,
Is Jesus my Saviour and King,
O praise to His name, He’ll love you the same,
Great joy to your life ever bring.

2 He buried my past in the Calvary tide,
I’m trusting His love divine,
Within my poor soul He has come to abide,
This wonderful Friend of mine. [Refrain]

3 To walk with the Lord is my glory below,
Earth’s pleasures I now resign,
In service for Him all my life I’ll bestow,
This wonderful Friend of mine. [Refrain]
