Author: Joe C. Ludgate Hymnal: Yes, Lord! #230 (1982) First Line: A friend of Jesus, O what bliss Lyrics: 1 A friend of Jesus, O what bliss
That one so weak as I
Should ever have a friend like this
To lead me to the sky.
Refrain:
Friendship with Jesus,
Fellowship divine;
O what blessed sweet communion,
Jesus is a friend of mine.
2 A friend when other friendships cease,
A friend when others fail;
A friend who gives me joy and peace,
A friend who will prevail. [Refrain]
3 A friend to lead me in the dark,
A friend who knows the way;
A friend to steer my weak, frail bark,
A friend my debts to pay. [Refrain]
4 A friend when sickness lays me low,
A friend when death draws near;
A friend as through the vale I go,
A friend to help and cheer. [Refrain]
5 A friend when life’s rough voyage is o’er,
A friend when death is past.
A friend to greet on Heaven’s shore,
A friend when home at last. [Refrain] Topics: Jesus Christ Friend Languages: English Tune Title: [A friend of Jesus, O what bliss]
