I have a Friend so
dear,
Constant and true is
He,
Filling my heart with
cheer,
So good to me.
He�s covered ev�ry sin
and stain,
His pow�r now makes me
whole again,
And soon with Him
fore�er I�ll reign�
Jesus, my Friend.
He�s promised to
return
To this dark world
below,
Though wicked men may
spurn,
To Him I�ll go.
He�ll take me to my
home on high,
Where I shall live and
never die,
He�ll wipe all tears
from ev�ry eye�
Jesus, my Friend.
Then why should
sorrow fill
Hearts that on Him
rely,
His bless�d �Peace, be
still�
Calms ev�ry cry.
Who fills with hope
and courage now,
And at the last�I not
not how�
Will place a crown
upon my brow�
Jesus, my Friend.
