Friendship with Jesus

1) 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! Refrain Friendship with Jesus! Fellowship divine! O what blessed, sweet communion! Jesus is a Friend of mine. 2) A Friend when other friendships cease, A Friend when others fail, A Friend Who gives me joy and peace, A Friend when foes assail! Refrain Friendship with Jesus! Fellowship divine! O what blessed, sweet communion! Jesus is a Friend of mine. 3) 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! Refrain Friendship with Jesus! Fellowship divine! O what blessed, sweet communion! Jesus is a Friend of mine. 4) 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! Refrain Friendship with Jesus! Fellowship divine! O what blessed, sweet communion! Jesus is a Friend of mine.
