I have a Friend, whose faithful love Is more than all the world to me: 'Tis higher than the heights above, And deeper than the soundless sea; So old, so new, So strong, so true; Before the earth received its frame, He loved me—Blessed be His name! |

He held the highest place above, Adored by all the sons of flame, Yet such His self-denying love, He laid aside His crown and came To seek the lost, And at the cost Of heavenly rank and earthly fame He sought me—Blessed be His name! |

It was a lonely path He trod, From every human soul apart; Known only to Himself and God Was all the grief that filled His heart, Yet from the track He turned not back, Till where I lay in want and shame, He found me—Blessed be His name! |

Then dawned at last that day of dread, When desolate, yet undismayed, With wearied frame and thorn-crowned head, He, God-forsaken, man-betrayed, Was then made sin On Calvary, And, dying there in grief and shame, He saved me—Blessed be His name! |

Long as I live my song shall tell The wonders of His dying love; And when at last I go to dwell With Him His sovereign grace to prove, My joy shall be His face to see, And bowing there with loud acclaim I'll praise Him—Blessed be His name! |

While in the storm the disciples said to the Lord, "Does it not matter to you that we are perishing" The Lord arose and made the winds to cease and spoke to them, "Why are you cowardly in this way? How is it that you do not have faith?"
When we fail to have faith in the faithful one we become weak and cowardly. We must trust that He is our faithful friend. Thank you Lord for Your faithful love to us. You sought, you found, you saved, and Lord you keep. Keep us Lord.

Even though the words “the Lamb” are not mentioned in this beautiful hymn, there is the sweetest fragrance of worship of the Lord in many aspects as the “... Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! ”

Wonderful words, I did not know this hymn but found it when I looked for the words to "It passeth knowledge that dear love of thine," another hymn telling of the amazing love joy & peace we have in Jesus. What a wonderful friend we have in Jesus.
