169. His Name is Jesus

1 There is a friend who died for you,
His name is Jesus;
There is a friend both tried and true,
His name is Jesus.

Refrain:
Sing it out in your joyful lay,
Jesus guides and protects, each day;
He’s the life, the truth, the way,
His name is Jesus.

2 There’s One who will your sorrow’s share,
His name is Jesus;
There’s One who will your burden bear,
His name is Jesus. [Refrain]

3 There’s One who did salvation bring,
His name is Jesus;
There’s One who took from death its sting,
His name is Jesus. [Refrain]

4 These eyes shall yet their King behold,
His name is Jesus;
I’ll sing upon the streets of gold,
His name is Jesus. [Refrain]
