LyicsNow I have found a friend,
Jesus is mine;
His love shall never end,
Jesus is mine.
Though earthly joys decrease;
Though human friendships cease,
Now I have lasting peace;
Jesus is mine.
Though I grow poor and old,
Jesus is mine;
He will my faith uphold,
Jesus is mine;
He shall my wants supply,
His precious blood Is nigh,
Nought can my hope destroy,
Jesus is mine!
When earth shall pass away,
Jesus is mine.
In the great Judgment day,
Jesus is mine.
O! what a glorious thing
Then to behold my King,
On tuneful harp to sing,
Jesus is mine.
Farewell mortality!
Jesus is mine.
Welcome eternity!
Jesus is mine.
He my Redemption is,
Wisdom and Righteousness,
Life, Light and Holiness,
Jesus is mine.
