LyicsNow I have found a friend,
Je-sus is mine;
His love shall never end,
Je-sus is mine;
Tho' earthly joys decrease,
Tho' human friendships cease,
Now I have last-ing peace;
Je-sus 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 night,
Naught can my hope destroy,
Jesus is mine!
When earth shall pass away,
Jesus is mine.
In the great judgment day,
Jesus is mine.
Oh! 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,
