43. Jesus is My Friend

1 Jesus is my Friend, and Oh, what joy it is to know
That He will ne’er forsake me, nor cease His love to show;
In Him I find sweet rest;
I lean upon His loving breast,
For Jesus is my Friend.

Refrain:
Jesus is my Friend,
Jesus is my Friend,
Tho’ friends may come and go, ‘tis sweet, this blessed truth to know,
That Jesus is my Friend.

2 Jesus is my Friend, and Oh, how sweet it is to dwell
Within His blessed shadow, who doeth all things well;
Beneath His wing I hide,
In peace I ever there abide,
For Jesus is my Friend. [Refrain]

3 Jesus is my Friend, and may this daily life of mine
Reflect His gracious image and in His likeness shine;
May I to others show
The grace He freely will bestow,
For Jesus is my Friend. [Refrain]
