One There Is, Above All Others (EN 2018)

EN 2018 One There Is, Above All Others

Prov.18.24

Versi Version 1

1

One there is, above all others,

Well deserves the name of Friend;

His is love beyond a brother’s,

Costly, free, and knows no end:

They who once His kindness prove,

Find it everlasting love!

2

Which of all our friends to save us,

Could or would have shed their blood?

But our Jesus died to have us

Reconciled, in Him to God:

This was boundless love indeed!

Jesus is a Friend in need.

3

Men, when raised to lofty stations,

Often know their friends no more;

Slight and scorn their poor relations

Though they valued them before.

But our Savior always owns

Those whom He redeemed with groans.

4

When He lived on earth abased,

Friend of sinners was His name;

Now, above all glory raised,

He rejoices in the same:

Still He calls them brethren, friends,

And to all their wants attends.

5

Could we bear from one another,

What He daily bears from us?

Yet this glorious Friend and Brother,

Loves us though we treat Him thus:

Though for good we render ill,

He accounts us brethren still.

6

O for grace our hearts to soften!

Teach us, Lord, at length to love;

We, alas! forget too often,

What a Friend we have above:

But when home our souls are brought,

We will love Thee as we ought.
