1 Jesus is the sinner’s friend,
One on whom he may depend,
He has never failed to cleanse from guilt and woe;
If we trust His holy name,
We shall not be put to shame,
Jesus keeps the heart right, everywhere we go.
Refrain:
Jesus keeps the heart right,
The tempter cannot lead my soul astray;
Jesus keeps the heart right,
Yes, the Savior keeps the heart right all the day.
2 Thro’ the shadow and the strife,
Thro’ the changing scenes of life,
With this Friend to guide me, I shall never fail;
All I need when sorely tried,
Is to keep close to His side,
Jesus keeps the heart right, sin cannot prevail. [Refrain]
3 Some day, in the realms above,
I shall see the King I love
And behold the mansion builded there for me;
Clothed in glory made complete,
I shall sit at Jesus’ feet,
For He keeps the heart right, thro’ eternity. [Refrain]
