Introdução:
D D4 D A
I have a Friend, whose faithful love
D D4 D A
Is more than all the world to me:
Bm G F#m Bm
&rsquo Tis higher than the heights above,
F#m Bm
And deeper than the soundless sea
D A D
So old, so new, So strong, so true
Bm G A
Before the earth received its frame,
Bm D G D A D
He loved me&mdash Blessed be His name!
D D4 D A
He held the highest place above,
D D4 D A
Adored by all the sons of flame,
Bm G F#m Bm
Yet such His self-denying love,
F#m Bm
He laid aside His crown and came
D A D
To seek the lost, And at the cost
Bm G A
Of heavenly rank and earthly fame
Bm D G D A D
He sought me&mdash Blessed be His name!
D D4 D A
It was a lonely path He trod,
D D4 D A
From every human soul apart
Bm G F#m Bm
Known only to Himself and God
F#m Bm
Was all the grief that filled His heart,
D A D
Yet from the track He turned not back,
Bm G A
Till where I lay in want and shame,
Bm D G D A D
He found me&mdash Blessed be His name!
D D4 D A
Then dawned at last that day of dread,
D D4 D A
When desolate, yet undismayed,
Bm G F#m Bm
With wearied frame and thorn-crowned head,
F#m Bm
He, God-forsaken, man-betrayed,
D A D
Was then made sin On Calvary,
Bm G A
And, dying there in grief and shame,
Bm D G D A D
He saved me&mdash Blessed be His name!
D D4 D A
Long as I live my song shall tell
D D4 D A
The wonders of His dying love
Bm G F#m Bm
And when at last I go to dwell
F#m Bm
With Him His sovereign grace to prove,
D A D
My joy shall be His face to see,
Bm G A
And bowing there with loud acclaim
Bm D G D A D
I&rsquo ll praise Him&mdash Blessed be His name!
