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!
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!
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!
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!
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!
