Verse 1 ~ I have a Friend so precious,      So very dear to me, He loves me with such tender love,      He loves so faithfully; I could not live apart from Him,      I love to feel Him nigh, And so we dwell together,      My Lord and I. Verse 2 ~ Sometimes I'm faint and weary,      He knows that I am weak, And as He bids me lean on Him,      His help I gladly seek; He leads me in the paths of light,      Beneath a sunny sky, And so we walk together,      My Lord and I. Verse 3 ~ I tell Him all my sorrows,      I tell Him all my joys, I tell Him all that pleases me,      I tell Him what annoys; He tells me what I ought to do,      He tells me how to try, And so we talk together,      My Lord and I. Verse 4 ~ He knows that I am longing      Some weary soul to win, And so He bids me go and speak      The loving word for Him; He bids me tell His wondrous love,      And why He came to die, And so we work together,      My Lord and I.
