I’ve a friend that will stand by me
His dear­ly be­lov­èd Son.
Fear no ev­il, I’ll be with you,
Those glo­ries which eter­nal years
A glimpse of what could not be told,
The day of truth is break­ing;
O speak the word, my bro­ther,
Eternal Vic­tor crowned.
And spread His glo­ries all abroad.
Forth their ori­ent gifts they draw;
Thou writ­est out Thy won­drous love
In its rich­ness I see,
For ev­er seat­ed near the throne.
Cause me to run the heav­en­ly way,
Her roy­al pa­lac­es be­hold
Tidings spread through ev­ery na­tion,
Their joys are joys un­told,
For she has trea­sures great­er far
The en­emy quailed at the might of His Word;
Bring me my ar­rows of de­sire!

un­fold

Yes, life’s morn will soon be wan­ing,
For Je­sus, our priest, our king!
I have giv’n up all for Je­sus,
Shall nev­er all un­fold.
Nor can eter­ni­ty un­fold.
Of love’s im­mor­tal wak­ing.
Point sin­ners to the Sav­ior,
In state to en­ter­tain
The sin­ner’s doom, and sin’s de­sert,
Myrrh, and frank­in­cense, and gold.
And fold the clouds in bliss ab­ove
There’s a light in the Bi­ble,
The mys­te­ries of re­deem­ing grace,
Thine in­ward teach­ings make me know
To all the com­ing race
All the hea­then, all the hea­then
They sing to harps of gold,
And her re­ward is more se­cure
The hosts of the bless­èd ex­ult in His fame:
Bring me my cha­ri­ot of fire!
