Friendship With Jesus

Verse 1

A friend of Jesus! O what bliss That one, so vile as I, Should ever have a friend like this To lead me to the sky!

Chorus

Friendship with Jesus, fellowship divine, O what blessèd, sweet communion, Jesus is a friend of mine!

Verse 2

A friend when other friend ships cease, A friend when others fail, A friend who gives me joy and peace, A friend who will prevail.

Verse 3

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.

Verse 4

A friend when life’s short race is o’er, A friend when earth is past, A friend to meet on Heaven’s shore, A friend when home at last.
