[Verse 1]
CI have a Friend so precious,
So Fvery dear to Cme,
CHe loves me with such tender love,
He Gloves so faithfully;
I G7could not live aCpart from Him,
I C7love to feel Him Fnigh,
And Cso we dwell together, My Lord Gand CI.
[Verse 2]
CSometimes I'm faint and weary,
He Fknows that I am Cweak,
CAnd as He bids me lean on Him
His Ghelp I gladly seek;
He G7leads me in the Cpaths of light,
BeC7neath a sunny Fsky,
And Cso we walk together, My Lord Gand CI.
[Verse 3]
CI tell Him all my sorrows,
I Ftell Him all my Cjoys,
CI tell Him all that pleases me,
I Gtell Him what annoys;
He G7tells me what I Cought to do,
He C7tells me how to Ftry,
And Cso we talk together, My Lord Gand CI.
[Verse 4]
CHe knows how I am longing
Some Fweary soul to Cwin,
CAnd so He bids me go and speak
The Gloving word for Him;
He G7bids me tell His Cwondrous love,
And C7why He came to Fdie,
And Cso we work together, My Lord Gand CI.
