I’ve found a friend in Jesus, He’s everything to me

lyricist: Charles William Fry
Composer: English melody

I’ve found a friend in Jesus

He’s everything to me

He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul;

The Apple-tree of trees

in Him alone I see

All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole.

In sorrow He’s my comfort

in trouble He’s my stay

He tells me every care on Him to roll:

He’s the Apple-tree of trees

the Bright and Morning Star

He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.

He all my griefs has taken

and all my sorrows borne;

In temptation He’s my strong and mighty tower;

I’ve all for Him forsaken

and all my idols torn

From my heart

and now He keeps me by His power.

Though all the world forsake me

and Satan tempt me sore

Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal:

He’s the Apple-tree of trees

the Bright and Morning Star

He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.

He’ll never

never leave me

nor yet forsake me here

While I live by faith and do His blessed will;

A wall of fire about me

I’ve nothing now to fear

With His manna He my hungry soul shall fill.

Then sweeping up to glory to see His blessed face

Where rivers of delight shall ever roll:

He’s the Apple-tree of trees

the Bright and Morning Star

He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.
