61. Jesus, My Friend

1 My Jesus! Blessed word of trust.
Your Jesus! None may sever
Your soul and mine from him we love,
Our Saviour, ours forever.

Refrain:
With joyful hearts a tribute bring,
The sinner's Friend is Lord and King,
The sinner's Friend is Lord and King.

2 Our Jesus! First and best of all,
Tho' earthly friends surround us,
Our richest Friend, whose blood has bought,
Whose seeking love has found us. [Refrain]

3 O Jesus, infinite and high,
Eternal Friend, and nearest,
Thy love has stoop'd to call us friends,
Be thou our best and dearest. [Refrain]
