The Silver Chime ‎#30

30. Jesus, Our Friend

1 Sweet 'tis to sing of thee,
Jesus, our friend;
Of thy great love so free;
Jesus, our friend;
Oh, for a heart to praise,
Thro' all our earthly days,
Thy wondrous works and ways,
Jesus our friend.

2 When thou wert here below,
Jesus, our friend;
Thou didst our sorrow know,
Jesus, our friend;
Grant to each heart to feel,
That thou hast power to heal,
And oh, thyself reveal,
Jesus, our friend.

3 Tender and patient thou,
Jesus, our friend;
To thy dear love we bow,
Jesus, our friend;
Oh, in thy spirit pure,
May we our ills endure,
Trusting thy promise sure,
Jesus, our friend.

4 By thy redeeming grace,
Jesus, our friend;
We hope to see thy face,
Jesus, our friend;
Then will we joyful praise,
Throughout eternal days,
Thy wondrous works and ways,
Jesus, our friend.
