Jesus is my Friend most precious, Never friend doth love as He; Should I leave this Friend so gracious. Spurn His wondrous love for me? No! nor friend nor foe shall sever Me from Him who loves me so; His shall be my will forever. There above, and here below. 2. Bitter death for me He suffered: From all guilt He set me free; To His Father He hath offered Everlasting prayers for me. Who is he that would condemn me? Christ hath saved me by His grace; Who can from my Saviour draw me? I am safe in His embrace. 3. Now I am convinced that never Life or death can sever me From my blessèd Lord and Saviour; Present things, nor things to be, Height nor depth, nor fear nor favor, Naught that heaven or earth affords Makes the sacred promise waver: "Ye are Christ's, and He's the Lord's." Author: J. Arrhenius Jakob Arrhenius was a Swedish hymnwriter and sacred poet. In 1687, Arrhenius became a professor of history at Upsala University, Sweden.
