Text:Jesus Never Fails
Author:Arthur A. Luther
Tune:[Earthly friends may prove untrue]
Composer:Arthur A. Luther

165. Jesus Never Fails

1 Earthly friends may prove untrue,
Doubts and fears assail;
One still loves and cares for you;
Jesus never fails.

Chorus:
Jesus never fails,
Jesus never fails;
Heav'n and earth may pass away
But Jesus never fails.

2 Tho' the sky be dark and drear,
Fierce and strong the gale,
Just remember He is near,
And He will not fail. (Chorus)

3 In life's dark and bitter hour
Love will still prevail;
Trust His everlasting pow'r,
Jesus will not fail. (Chorus)
