120. My Friend Divine

1 Often here my soul grows weary,
Often fears my way attend,
Yet, there's One whose love ne'er fails me,
It is Christ, the sinner's friend.

Chorus:
There's One who knows my spirit's woes
And feels the weight of all my grief;
My ev'ry care to Him in pray'r,
I take and find a sweet relief.

2 In my darkest hours of trial,
When no earthly friend seems near,
It is then this precious Saviour
Speaks and calms my ev'ry fear. [Chorus]

3 Tho' I stray to paths forbidden,
Wand'ring oft in sin's dark way
Yet His mercy is around me,
And protects me day by day. [Chorus]
