1 Do you long for a friend who will love you
And forever be known as your own?
Let me tell you of One who is faithful,
When you’re weary and sad and alone.
Refrain:
It is Jesus the Friend of the friendless;
Oh, let Him come into your heart;
Let Him in, He will give to you peace and joy,
And from you He will never depart.
2 Do you long for a friend who can help you
When the world seems to leave you alone?
When there’s no one who quite understands you,
And the bright hopes of promise have flown? [Refrain]
3 Do you long for a friend who’ll befriend you
When the shadows of death linger near?
Who will carry you safe over Jordan,
Where there’ll be no more sorrow and fear? [Refrain]
4 Oh, receive Him today who so loved you
That He died on the cross for your sin;
Oh, believe Him, and open your heart’s door,
Let the Savior who loves you come in! [Refrain]
