I’ve found a Friend, oh, such a Friend!
我有一友,何等之友!
He loved me ere I knew Him;
愛我遠在創世前;
He drew me with the cords of love,
慈繩愛索將我牽引,
And thus He bound me to Him.
使我和祂永相聯。
And round my heart still closely twine
此愛堅強,圍繞我心,
Those ties which naught can sever,
無何能將其分離;
For I am His, and He is mine,
我是屬祂,祂也屬我,
Forever and forever.
直到永世不稍渝!

I’ve found a Friend, oh, such a Friend!
我有一友,何等之友!
He bled, He died to save me;
流血、捨命拯救我;
And not alone the gift of life,
不僅給我生命恩賜,
But His own self He gave me.
連祂自己也給我。
Naught that I have my own I call,
我今不再屬我自己,
I hold it for the Giver;
我獻全人歸祂有;
My heart, my strength, my life, my all,
我心、我命,我的一切,
Are His, and His forever.
全都歸祂到永久。

I’ve found a Friend, oh, such a Friend!
我有一友,何等之友!
So kind, and true, and tender,
仁慈、真實又溫柔,
So wise a Counsellor and Guide,
事事帶領,處處照顧,
So mighty a Defender!
大能膀臂常保守;
From Him who loves me now so well,
祂既如此愛我不息,
What power my soul can sever?
何能使我們分離?
Shall life or death, or earth or hell?
或生、或死,上天、下地,
No, I am His forever.
我總屬祂永不離。
