Was There Ever Such a Friend

Verse 1

Behold the love of Christ for me, Was there ever such a friend as Jesus? He shed his blood on Calvary, And I His faithful follow'r be, Was there ever such a friend as Jesus? He intercedes in heaven for me, Oh, may my soul from sin be free, Was there ever such a friend as Jesus?

Verse 2

Behold my love to live for Thee, Was there ever such a friend as Jesus? Wilt Thou, my Savior, dwell with me, While heaven and earth combine to say, Was there ever such a friend as Jesus? His foes He'll banish far away, His follow'rs clothe in bright array, "Was there ever such a friend as Jesus?"

Verse 3

Hear, O sinner, and obey, Was there ever such a friend as Jesus? Accept His call with delay, 'Tis Christ alone who can relieve, Was there ever such a friend as Jesus? Come, peace and pardon here receive, No longer now His Spirit grieve, Was there ever such a friend as Jesus?
