I've Found A Friend in Jesus He is Everything To Me


Click the link above to sing along!

Not sure that the "apple tree of trees" phrase is in the origonal song...this was just pointed out to me 6/3/2011...honestly I had not noticed it back in 2009....not sure why this person put that verbage in the song...
I've found a friend in Jesus, He's everything to me,
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul;
The Apple-tree of trees, in Him alone I see
All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole.
In sorrow He's my comfort, in trouble He's my stay,
He tells me every care on Him to roll:
He's the Apple-tree of trees, the Bright and Morning Star,
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.

He all my griefs has taken, and all my sorrows borne;
In temptation He's my strong and mighty tower;
I've all for Him forsaken, and all my idols torn

From my heart, and now He keeps me by His power.
Though all the world forsake me, and Satan tempt me sore,
Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal:
He's the
Apple-tree of trees, the Bright and Morning Star,
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.

He'll never, never leave me, nor yet forsake me here,
While I live by faith and do His blessed will;
A wall of fire about me, I've nothing now to fear,
With His manna He my hungry soul shall fill.
Then sweeping up to glory to see His blessed face,
Where rivers of delight shall ever roll:
He's the Apple-tree of trees, the Bright and Morning Star,
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.

"Apple-tree of trees"
Hmm. I see what you did there, and I know why, but the sound of it still makes me cringe.

Ah well, nothing to get upset about if we can still all enjoy the hymn.

Actually I never noticed that to be totally honest with you, I am going to remove this...after I have given you sufficient opportunity to read this comment...
