84. The Sinner’s Friend

1 Sinner, far from Jesus, wipe away your tears,
For the cross of Calv’ry triumphs over fears;
Shining ever brighter thro’ the passing years,
Jesus is the sinner’s friend.

Refrain:
Jesus is the sinner’s friend,
Jesus is the sinner’s friend,
Sharing all your grief,
He’ll bring you sweet relief,
Jesus is the sinner’s friend.

2 When the prince of darkness tempteth you to sin,
Thro’ the gates of pleasure do not enter in;
With the help of Jesus you can vict’ry win,
Jesus is the sinner’s friend. [Refrain]

3 Call upon the Saviour,—call while He is near,
Tell it all to Jesus, all your doubt and fear;
He has waited long your earnest pray’r to hear,
Jesus is the sinner’s friend. [Refrain]
