Author: Catherine Winkworth; Paul Gerhardt Hymnal: The Hymnbook #218 (1955) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Since Jesus is my Friend,
And I to Him belong,
It matters not what foes intend,
However fierce and strong.
2 He whispers in my breast
Sweet words of holy cheer;
How they who seek in God their rest
Shall ever find Him near.
3 My heart for gladness springs;
It cannot more be sad;
For very joy it laughs and sings,
Sees nought but sunshine glad.
4 The Sun that lights mine eyes
Is Christ, the Lord I love;
I sing for joy of that which lies
Stored up for me above.
Amen. Topics: Christ Friend; Christ Light; Christ Presence; Joy; Jesus Christ His Presence Scripture: Nehemiah 8:10 Tune Title: GREENWOOD
