I Have a Friend Who Loveth Me

Composer: Nils Frykman, 1895

I have a friend who lov­eth me

He gave His life on Cal­va­ry;

Upon the cross my sins He bore

And I am saved for­ev­er­more.

Oh

hal­le­lujah

He’s my friend

He guides me to the jour­ney’s end

He walks be­side me all the way

And gives to me a crown some day.

My Sav­ior’s love so full and free

Doth light the wea­ry way for me;

It fills with joy each pass­ing day

And drives my sor­rows all away.

I have a friend

a migh­ty friend

Upon His pow­er I may de­pend;

He reign­eth ov­er ev­ery land

O’er val­ley

hill

on sea and strand.

O bro­ther

join us in our song!

This friend to you would fain be­long;

Tho’ far from what you’d like to be

His grace suf­fi­cient is for thee.
