185. There Is No Dearer Friend

1 There is no nearer, dearer friend
Than Jesus Christ, my Saviour,
Upon his goodness I depend,
And seek his love and favor.

Refrain:
There is no sweeter name than his,
No friend to me is nearer,
And daily, as with him I walk,
The way is growing clearer.

2 There is no other friend on earth
Who loves me so sincerely,
In him my soul is satisfied,
And O I love him dearly. [Refrain]

3 There is no one so kind as he,
So gracious and so tender,
A very present help in need,
A guardian and defender. [Refrain]
