73. Do You Want A Faithful Friend

1 Do you want a faithful friend?
One who will be always true,
One whose love will never end,
One to go life's journey through.

chorus:
Go to Jesus in your need,
He will prove a friend in deed,
He will prove a friend in deed,
He's the very friend you need.

2 Many weary ones have found
His affection to endure.
Earthly friendships run their round;
His is faithful, true and pure. [Chorus]

3 None that ever sought his face
Have been turned, unloved, away;
Still they feel his warm embrace,
He is faithful, still, today. [Chorus]

4 Do you want a friend like this,
Loving with eternal love,
Who will fill your life with bliss,
Take you, then to Heaven above? [chorus]
