Oh, the best friend
to have is Jesus,
When the cares
of life upon you roll;
He will heal the wounded heart,
He will strength and grace impart;
Oh, the best friend t
o have is Jesus.
The best friend to have is Jesus,
The best friend to have is Jesus,
He will help you when you fall,
He will hear you when you call;
Oh, the best friend
to have is Jesus.
What a friend I have
found in Jesus!
Peace and comfort
to my soul He brings;
Leaning on His mighty arm,
I will fear no ill nor harm;
Oh, the best friend
to have is Jesus.
The best friend to have is Jesus,
The best friend to have is Jesus,
He will help you when you fall,
He will hear you when you call;
Oh, the best friend
to have is Jesus.
Though I pass through
the night of sorrow,
And the chilly waves
of Jordan roll,
Never need I shrink nor fear,
For my Savior is so near,
Oh, the best friend
to have is Jesus.
The best friend to have is Jesus,
The best friend to have is Jesus,
He will help you when you fall,
He will hear you when you call;
Oh, the best friend
to have is Jesus.
When at last to
our home we gather,
With the loved ones
who have gone before,
We will sing upon the shore,
Praising Him forevermore;
Oh, the best friend
to have is Jesus.
The best friend to have is Jesus,
The best friend to have is Jesus,
He will help you when you fall,
He will hear you when you call;
Oh, the best friend
to have is Jesus.
