My Faithful Friend

Author: James M. Gray, D. D. Hymnal: Melodies of Salvation #191 (1901) First Line: I have no friend like Jesus Refrain First Line: O, will you come to Jesus Lyrics: 1 I have no friend like Jesus, Who gave His life for me; And who supplieth daily My need so graciously. Chorus: O, will you come to Jesus, My faithful friend so true? My heart is yearning, yearning, That you may know Him, too. 2 My heart was once so weary, And overcharg’d with care; But now is filled with gladness, And never knows despair. [Chorus] 3 O, come as I am pleading, As He is seeking you; Receive the blessed Saviour, And start your life anew. [Chorus] 4 He waits responsive answer, O, do not say Him nay; But “Yea, I will, blest Saviour, Be thine this very day.” [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [I have no friend like Jesus]

James M. Gray

1851 - 1935 Author of "My Faithful Friend" in Make His Praise Glorious Born: May 11, 1851, New York City. Died: September 21, 1935, Passavant Hospital, Chicago, Illinois. Buried: Woodlawn Cemetery, New York City. Gray accepted Christ at age 22. He was educated at Bates College, Lewiston, Maine (Doctor of Divinity), and the University of Des Moines, Iowa (Doctor of Laws). In 1879 he became Rector of the First Reformed Episcopal Church in Boston, Massachusetts, where he served 14 years. He then became dean (1904-25) and president (1925-34) of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, Illinois, and directed publication of four editions (1921-28) of the Voice of Thanksgiving, official hymnal of the Institute. A conservative theologian, Gray was one of seven editors of the popular Scofield Reference Bible. He was a fine scholar and excellent Bible teacher, but his interests went beyond mere academics. He promoted the Sunday School, and took an interest in civic affairs and patriotic causes. He backed efforts at social betterment, supported Prohibition, and wrote about 20 books --www.hymntime.com/tch/
