My Wonderful Friend

I found such a won­der­ful Sav­ior

In Je­sus

my Lord and my king!

Undying and true His de­vo­tion;

My heart shall his glad prais­es sing.

Oh

what a won­der­ful Sav­ior is He!

Constant and true is Je­sus.

More than I fan­cied He ev­er could be

Is Je­sus

my won­der­ful friend.

Surpassing the love that a mo­ther

May have for the child of her care;

The love of a sis­ter or bro­ther

With His we can nev­er com­pare.

The plea­sures the world could af­ford me

Are naught to com­pare with His joy;

The rap­ture and peace that He gives me

Earth’s sor­rows can nev­er de­stroy.

When sor­rows and pain are my por­tion

When tears of be­reave­ment must fall

My Sav­ior

my friend

my com­pan­ion

Will com­fort and keep through it all.

When tem­pests around me are sweep­ing

My pi­lot and guide He will be;

And safe is my soul in His keep­ing

My migh­ty de­liv’rer is He.
