O What a Friend!

One there is above all others,
Well deserves the name of Friend;
His is love beyond a mother's—
Costly, free, and knows no end!
Those who once His kindness prove,
Find it everlasting love.
Which of all our friends, to save us,
Could or would have shed his blood?
But our Saviour died to have us
Reconciled in Him to God.
This was boundless love indeed,
Jesus is a Friend in need.
