And that friend is the Lord, my king;
Of the peace I received,
When His Word I believed,
In the fullness of joy I will sing.

O come, quickly come!
He is calling you today,
O come to that friend so true;
He will be your faithful guide,
More than all the world beside,
And remember He has died for you.
2. There’s a friend that abides evermore,
And I praise Him with loud acclaim;
For the life that is mine
Through His mercy divine;
Still I sing in my joy, Bless His name! [Refrain]
3. There’s a love that is strong as the hills
That encircle His throne above;
How it speaks to my soul
When the dark billows roll,
And my heart sings for joy, God is love! [Refrain]
4. There’s a friend that abides evermore,
And a friend that I long to see;
O, the song that will break,
When to rapture I wake,
And in glory with Him I shall be! [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [There's a friend that abides evermore]
