Verse 1:

C
I have a Friend so precious,
   F            C
So very dear to me,
C

He loves me with such tender love,
   G
He loves so faithfully;
  G7              C
I could not live apart from Him,
  C7               F
I love to feel Him nigh,
    C                             G   C
And so we dwell together, My Lord and I.


Verse 2:

C
Sometimes I'm faint and weary,
   F               C
He knows that I am weak,
C
And as He bids me lean on Him
    G
His help I gladly seek;
   G7              C
He leads me in the paths of light,
  C7            F
Beneath a sunny sky,
    C                            G   C
And so we walk together, My Lord and I.


Verse 3:

C
I tell Him all my sorrows,
  F               C
I tell Him all my joys,
C
I tell Him all that pleases me,
  G
I tell Him what annoys;
   G7              C
He tells me what I ought to do,
   C7              F
He tells me how to try,
    C                            G   C
And so we talk together, My Lord and I.


Verse 4:

C
He knows how I am longing
     F             C
Some weary soul to win,
C
And so He bids me go and speak
    G
The loving word for Him;
   G7               C
He bids me tell His wondrous love,
    C7             F
And why He came to die,
    C                            G   C
And so we work together, My Lord and I.
