Refrain: “A wonderful Friend is Jesus, A wonderful Friend is He; He cleanses from sin, Gives a new life within, A wonderful Friend is He.” 2 How blessed the hour when I turned to the Light, When Jesus who suffers long, Redeemed my poor soul by the pow’r of His might, Filled my heart with His joy and song! [Refrain] 3 The glad news of life I rejoice to repeat, To witness His saving grace; And some day His love will my rapture complete, When in glory I see His face!
