Hymns - What a Dear Friend Is Jesus - Текст песни

1. He lifted my burden of sorrow and sin,
 The blood of His cleansing has washed me within;
 He gave me the power new life to begin,
 Oh, what a dear friend is Jesus!
 * Refrain:
 Such wonderful things He does for me,
 Though only one step each day I see;
 The joy of my life indeed is He,
 Oh, what a dear friend is Jesus!
 2. He comes to my rescue whenever I call,
 I???m safe in His keeping, no harm can befall;
 Though troubles be many, yet, spite of them all,
 Oh, what a dear friend is Jesus!
 3. My path may be thorny, and dangers dismay,
 His wonderful promise all fears will allay:
 ???Lo, I will be with you by night and by day???;
 Oh, what a dear friend is Jesus!
 4. With Jesus beside me I fear not the foe,
 His arm of protection around me He???ll throw;
 His goodness and mercy my cup overflow,
 Oh, what a dear friend is Jesus!
