Why Should I Charge My Soul With Care?

Why should I charge my soul with care?

The wealth of every mine

Belongs to Christ, God's Son and Heir,

And He's a Friend of mine.

Refrain

Yes, He's a Friend of mine,

And He with me doth all things share;

Since all is Christ's, and Christ is mine,

Why should I have a care?

For Jesus is a Friend of mine.

The silver moon, the golden sun,

The countless stars that shine,

Are His alone, yes, every one,

And He's a Friend of mine.

Refrain

He daily spreads a glorious feast,

And at His table dine

The whole creation, man and beast,

And He's a Friend of mine.

Refrain

And when he comes in bright array,

And leads the conqu'ring line,

It will be glory then to say,

That He's a Friend of mine.
