I have a friend, and He came to seek me;
I was afar on the ocean wave;
Into the fold of His love He brought me—
Peace to my soul from that hour He gave.

Refrain

Glory, glory, Jesus is my Savior,
I will sing and praise Him
In the glad, new song;
Glory, glory, I will give Him glory,
When mine eyes behold Him,
In the blood-washed throng.

O how my heart with its joy is bounding,
O what a Savior and friend is He,
Full of compassion and rich in blessing,
O how He loves and He cares for me.

Refrain

I have a friend that will ne’er forsake me,
I shall be kept by His mighty pow’r.
Safe in the arms of His love that folds me,
Moment by moment and hour by hour.

Refrain

I have a hope that is sure and steadfast,
Firm as the rock where by faith I stand;
I have the pledge of a rest eternal
Waiting for me in the soul’s bright land.

Refrain
