LyicsONE there is above all others,
Well deserves the name of Friend
His is love, beyond a brother's,
Costly--free--and knows no end.
Hallelujah--
Costly, free, and knows no end.
Which of all our friends to save us,
Could or would have shed his blood?
But this Saviour died to have us
Reconciled in him to God.
When he lived on earth abased,
Friend of sinners was his name;
Now above all glory raised,
He rejoices in the same.
Hallelujah--
He rejoices in the same.
