I really wish to sing such songs and I really like it. It is my very special song. I am your big fan.
Lagos, Nigeria
As I am writing this comment I am in a difficult situation but after listening to this hymn I cried so much not because of what am passing through, but because I have a dear Friend in Jesus who is ready to carry all my burden. I feel relieve and happy right because I believe in Him that He will erase the pain in my heart and bring back peace and joy in my life.Thank You Jesus!

In our case we can say
Do Thy family despise forsake Thee.
But through it all He has taken wrapped us in His loving arms, shielded us and given us solace, support and above all His undeserved Love.
Greeneville, TN, United States
This is such a great reminder of how we need to view God. After all, we were originally made for walking with Him in the garden; and now because of what Jesus has done on the cross we are brought near once more. Not only is He the closest, dearest, and most faithful friend but also He has made us even as He is: a new creation. Everything good or noteworthy in my life is either because of the work He has done or is doing. I used to think that I could be good on my own, but now when I see anything good in myself I know it is Him working in me.
Mt Hagen, Whp
I love this song as I sing I know from my heart, I have a special and best friend around me day by day, hour by hour and every second of a minute. He sees and hears my troubles. I have to be careful what I say and do.

I simply love this song, especially the last stanza.

I absolutely love this hymn, and sing it often during my morning devotions with the Lord. When I personalize it, by replacing words like we, our, and such; with I and my...it becomes a prayer that I sing to the Lord and it stirs my heart every time! Praise God for His Faithfulness!
Poole, Dorset, United Kingdom
I woke up one morning recently and this hymn came to my mind, I had not heard this hymn for many years but as I sang through this hymn sitting here at my computer, the words 'Can we find a friend so faithful' made me cry because of my experience over the last three years of realising that people who I thought were friends turned out not to be, and the words in the third verse 'Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?' I did not realise these words were in this hymn. I believe God was saying that He knows what I have suffered and understands the pain that I have been through. This is a lovely hymn.
