456   My Lord and I




[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.

[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.

[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.

[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.
