11687. The Friendship Of Jesus

1 Have you acepted the friendship of Jesus?
Do you walk with Him day by day,
Resting secure in His blessèd assurance,
Lo, I am with you alway?

Refrain:
By and by, by and by,
They who walk with Him here below,
In His glorified likeness awaking,
As they are known, shall they know.

2 Dear as a mother, or sister or brother,
To His infinite heart of love,
Is He that doeth the will of the Father,
Seeking for strength from above. [Refrain]

3 Servants no longer, but friends He doth call us,
If we do what His love commands,
Yesterday, now, and for ever His promise,
Fixed and unchangeable stands. [Refrain]
