1 A wonderful Friend is my Savior and King,
On whom I can ever depend;
If I should prove faithful, his Spirit will lead me,
And guide me to the end.

Refrain:
Praise him! praise him!
Praise the Creator of heav’n and earth;
Praise him! Praise him!
Praise him for the new birth;
Praise him! praise him!
Heaven and earth shall adore the King;
Glory, honor be to his holy name.

2 He ever doth hold me by his strong hand,
And keeps me from falling in sin;
His arms now enfold me, his love doth uphold me,
His Spirit now dwells within. [Refrain]

3 Some day we shall praise him in heaven above,
And songs of redemption will bring;
What glory forever, with friends we shall gather,
And ceaseless ages sing. [Refrain]
