THE CHRISTIAN'S SOLACE

There is a heaven o'er yonder skies,
A heaven where pleasure never dies,
A heaven I sometimes hope. to see,
But fear again 'tis not for me.

But Jesus, Jesus is my friend,
O hallelujah, hallelujah,
Jesus, Jesus is my friend.

I travel through a world of foes,
Thro' conflicts sore my spirit goes;
The tempter cries I ne'er shall stand,
Or reach fair Canaan's happy land.

But Jesus, Jesus is my friend,
O hallelujah, hallelujah,
Jesus, Jesus is my friend.

Come life, come death, come then what will,
His footsteps I will follow still;
Thro' dangers thick and hell's alarms,
I shall be safe in his dear arms.

For Jesus, Jesus is my friend,
O hallelujah, hallelujah,
Jesus, Jesus is my friend.

Then O my soul, arise and sing,
Yonder's thy Captain and thy King,
With pleasing smile he now looks down,
And cries "press on, and here's thy crown."

O Jesus, Jesus is my friend,
O hallelujah, hallelujah,
Jesus, Jesus is my friend.

"Prove faithful then, a few more days,"
Fight the good fight, and win the race,
"And then thy soul with me shall reign,"
Thy head a crown of glory gain."

O Jesus, Jesus is my friend,
O hallelujah, hallelujah,
Jesus, Jesus is my friend.

My flesh shall slumber in the ground,
Till the last joyful trump shall sound,
Then burst the chains with sweet surprize,
And in my Saviour's image rise.

O Jesus, Jesus is my friend,
O hallelujah, hallelujah,
Jesus, Jesus is my friend.
