Blessèd Friend

Blessèd Je­sus

how I love Thee!

All my heart to Thee I give;

In my life there’s none ab­ove Thee

Day by day for Thee I live.

Keep

O keep me Thine for­ev­er

Hold me in Thine arms of love;

Naught my heart and Thine shall sev­er

O Thou bless­èd Friend ab­ove.

Of Thy grace my soul is sing­ing

Thou art all in all to me;

To Thy pro­mise I am cling­ing

Sure that I Thy face shall see.

Keep me faithful

Friend eter­nal

Let Thy glo­ry be my pride

Till in yon­der world su­per­nal

In Thy glo­ry I ab­ide.

Soon will end all sin

all scorn­ing

Soon my soul will find her own

In that land of end­less morn­ing

When I see Thee on Thy throne.
