A Friend when others fail,
A Friend who gives me joy and peace,
A Friend when foes assail! [Refrain]

A Friend when death draws near,
A Friend as through the vale I go,
A Friend to help and cheer! [Refrain]

A Friend when earth is past,
A Friend to meet on Heaven’s shore,
A Friend when home at last! [Refrain] Topics: Fellowship Scripture: John 15:15 Tune Title: [A friend of Jesus! Oh what bliss]
