I've Found A Friend, O Such A Friend!

A man of [many] friends will come to ruin but there is a friend [that] sticketh closer than a brother. Proverbs 18:24

The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and ye say, Behold an eater and wine-drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners; Luke 7:34

  1. Proverbs 18:24, Luke 7:34I've found a Friend, O such a Friend!

    Ephesians 1:4, Galatians 2:20He loved me ere I knew Him;

    Hosea 11:4, John 6:44He drew me with the cords of love,

    Hosea 11:4, John 6:37And thus He bound me to Him.

    John 10:28,29, Ephesians 3:17And round my heart still closely twine

    John 10:28,29, John 6:39Those ties which nought can sever;

    Romans 8:35-39, Song of Songs 6:3For I am His and He is mine

    Romans 8:35-39, John 10:28For ever and for ever.

  2. Proverbs 17:17, John 7:34I've found a Friend, O such a Friend!

    John 19:34, 1 Peter 1:18,18He shed His blood to save me;

    Galatians 1:4, John 10:28And not alone the gift of life,

    Galatians 2:20, Song of Songs 2:16But His own self He gave me.

    1 Corinthians 6:19,20, Philippians 3:8Nought that I have mine own I call,

    Philippians 3:7,8, Romans 12:1I hold it for the Giver;

    Philippians 3:7,8, Philippians 3:12My heart, my strength, my life, my all

    Romans 8:35-39, Philippians 3:12Are His, and His for ever.

  3. Song of Songs 5:16, Luke 7:34I've found a Friend, O such a Friend,

    John 15:1, Hebrews 13:20So kind, and true, and tender!

    Matthew 28:20, Isaiah 9:6So wise a Counsellor and Guide,

    John 10:7,14-16, 2 Timothy 4:17So mighty a Defender!

    Ephesians 3:19, Revelation 1:5From Him who loves me now so well,

    Romans 8:35-39, John 10:28What power my soul shall sever?

    Romans 8:35-39Shall life or death, shall earth or hell?

    John 10:28,29, Philippians 3:12No! I am His for ever.
