Author: C. Winkworth Hymnal: Laudes Domini #383 (1888) Hymnal Title: Laudes Domini First Line: Since Jesus is my friend" Lyrics: 1 Since Jesus is my friend,
And I to him belong,
It matters not what foes intend,
However fierce and strong.
2 He whispers in my breast
Sweet words of holy cheer,
How they who seek in God their rest
Shall ever find him near;--
3 How God hath built above
A city fair and new,
Where eye and heart shall see and prove
What faith has counted true.
4 My heart for gladness springs;
It cannot more be sad;
For very joy it smiles and sings,--
Sees naught but sunshine glad. Topics: Christ Character of; Christ Friend; Christians Love for Christ; Communion of Saints With Christ; Contentment Scripture: Nehemiah 8:10 Languages: English Tune Title: GREENWOOD
