friendship with jesus

A friend of Jesus, O what bliss.
That one so vile as I Should ever have a
friend like this To lead me to the sky.

CHORUS
Friendship with Jesus,
Fellowship divine,
O what a blessed, sweet
communion.
Jesus is a friend of mine.

A friend when other friendships cease, A friend when others fail, A friend
who gives me joy and peace, A friend when foes assail.

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.

A friend when life’s short race is o’er, A friend when earth is past, A friend
to meet on heaven’s shore, A friend when home at last.
