I’ve found a friend in Jesus, He’s everything to me

1
I’ve found a friend in Jesus, He’s everything to me,
  He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul;
The Apple-tree of trees, in Him alone I see
  All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole.
In sorrow He’s my comfort, in trouble He’s my stay,
  He tells me every care on Him to roll:
He’s the Apple-tree of trees, the Bright and Morning Star,
  He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.
2
He all my griefs has taken, and all my sorrows borne;
  In temptation He’s my strong and mighty tower;
I’ve all for Him forsaken, and all my idols torn
  From my heart, and now He keeps me by His power.
Though all the world forsake me, and Satan tempt me sore,
  Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal:
He’s the Apple-tree of trees, the Bright and Morning Star,
  He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.
3
He’ll never, never leave me, nor yet forsake me here,
  While I live by faith and do His blessed will;
A wall of fire about me, I’ve nothing now to fear,
  With His manna He my hungry soul shall fill.
Then sweeping up to glory to see His blessed face,
  Where rivers of delight shall ever roll:
He’s the Apple-tree of trees, the Bright and Morning Star,
  He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.

I traveled from Cameroon and arrived Brussel this morning while doing my morning prayer and it happened that this song just came to me and sang it. This song has made my day. Thank for given knowledge to the writer of this song. I really love it.

My/our Lord Jesus is the Lord of Grace and He is also the Lord of sympathy. He is the sinners’ Savior and the sinners’ Friend (Matt. 11:19). He is truly the only One Who can sympathize with our weaknesses!! Praise You Lord Jesus my/our Savior and Friend❣️

I remember the first time I heard this hymn in a church, I felt so light. Like, bare of all my burdens. It came as an earworm today but I had already forgotten some of the lyrics. So I decided to check on the internet. Thank you posting it here.

I have found a friend He's everything to me indeed. I listened to it over and over again and again all day and every day. And I shared with friends and family again and again. Thank you so much, the tune and the lyrics are wonderful.
