Friendship With Jesus

A friend of Jesus, oh, what bliss

That one so weak as I

Should ever have a friend

like this

To lead me to the sky.

Friendship with Jesus,

Fellowship divine;

Oh, what blessed sweet

communion,

Jesus is a friend of mine.

A friend when other friendships

cease,

A friend when others fail;

A friend who gives me joy

and peace,

A friend who will prevail.

A friend to lead me in the dark,

A friend who knows the way;

A friend to steer my weak,

frail bark,

A friend my debts to pay.

A friend when sickness lays

me low,

A friend when death draws near;

A friend as through the vale I go,

A friend to help and cheer.

A friend when life's rough

voyage is o'er.

A friend when death is past;

A friend to greet on heaven's

shore,

A friend when home at last.
