Now I Have Found a Friend

lyricist: Henry Hope, 1852
Composer: Lowell Mason, 1854

Now I have found a friend

Je­sus is mine;

His love shall nev­er end

Je­sus is mine:

Though earth­ly joys de­crease

Though earth­ly friend­ships cease

Now I have last­ing peace

Je­sus is mine.

Though I grow poor and old

Je­sus is mine;

Though I grow faint and cold

Je­sus is mine:

He shall my wants sup­ply

His pre­cious blood is nigh

Naught can my hope de­stroy; Je­sus is mine.

When death is sent to me

Je­sus is mine;

Welcome eter­ni­ty

Je­sus is mine.

He my re­demp­tion is

Wisdom and right­eous­ness

Life

light

and ho­li­ness

Je­sus is mine.

When earth shall pass away

Je­sus is mine;

In the great judg­ment day

Je­sus is mine:

O what a glo­ri­ous thing

then to behold my king

On tune­ful harp to sing

Je­sus is mine.

Father

Thy name I bless

Je­sus is mine;

Thine was the sov­er­eign grace

praise shall be Thine;

Spirit of ho­li­ness

Sealing the Fa­ther’s grace

Thou mad’st my soul em­brace Je­sus as mine.
