Our Praise in Song ‎#8

8. I always go to Jesus

1 I always go to Jesus
When troubled or distressed,
I always find a refuge
Upon his loving breast;
I tell him all my trials,
I tell him all my grief,
And while my lips are speaking
He gives my heart relief.

Refrain:
He is my refuge,
He is my refuge,
He is my refuge,
My never failing friend.
He is my refuge,
He is my refuge,
He is my refuge,
My never failing friend.

2 When full of dread foreboding,
And flowing o'er with tears,
He calms away my sorrow
And hushes all my fears;
He comprehends my weakness.
The peril I am in,
And he supplies the armor
I need to conquer sin. [Refrain]

3 When those are cold and faithless
Who once were fond and true.
With careless hearts forsaking
The old friends for the new,
I turn to him whose friendship
Knows neither change nor end;
I always find in Jesus
A never-failing friend. [Refrain]

4 I always go to Jesus,
No matter when or where
I seek his gracious presence,
I'm sure to find him there.
In times of joy or sorrow,
Whate'er my need may be,
I always go to Jesus,
And Jesus comes to me. [Refrain]
