A friend I have called Jesus, Whose love is strong and true,
And never fails howe�er �tis tried, no matter what I do;
I�ve sinned against this love of His, but when I knelt to pray,
Confessing all my guilt to Him, the sin clouds rolled away.
Refrain
It�s just like Jesus to roll the clouds away,
it�s just like Jesus to keep me day by day,
it�s just like Jesus all along the way,
It�s just like His great love.
Sometimes the clouds of trouble bedim the sky above,
I cannot see my Savior�s face, I doubt His wondrous love;
But He, from heaven�s mercy seat, beholding my despair,
In pity bursts the clouds between, and shows me He is there.
Refrain
When sorrow�s clouds o�ertake me, and break upon my head,
When life seems worse than useless, and I were better dead;
I take my grief to Jesus then, nor do I go in vain,
For heavenly hope He gives that cheers like sunshine after rain.
Refrain
O, I could sing forever of Jesus� love divine,
Of all His care and tenderness for this poor life of mine;
His love is in and over all, and wind and waves obey,
When Jesus whispers �Peace, be still!� and rolls the clouds away.
