Christ a Redeemer and Friend. Matt. 11. 19; Luke 7. 34

1 Poor, weak, and worthless though I am,
  I have a rich, almighty Friend;
  Jesus, the Saviour, is his name;
  He freely loves, and without end.

2 He ransomed me from hell with blood,
  And by his power my foes controlled;
  He found me wandering far from God,
  And brought me to his chosen fold.

3 He cheers my heart, my needs supplies,
  And says that I shall shortly be
  Enthroned with him above the skies;
  O what a Friend is Christ to me!
