446 I Have Found a Friend in Jesus
C. W. Fry
A song of the friendship of Jesus and its meaning to one who experiences it. The words are based on Song of Songs 2:1-2:
“I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys. As the lily among the thorns, so is my love among the daughters.” Also on Revelation 22:16: “I am the root and offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.”
The author, C. W. Fry, was prominent in Salvation Army circles in London.
