| Text: | Jesus All-Sufficient |

| Tune: | [Jesus, ever present Friend] |
| Composer: | Alfred Beirly |
1 Jesus, ever present Friend,
Whom have I on earth beside?
True and faithful to the end,
Be Thou still my help and guide.
Chorus:
Jesus all-sufficient friend,
Lead, and comfort, and defend,
All in all I find in thee,
Show thy power and grace in me.
2 Jesus, Savior, when alone
Thou didst bear my load of sin,
For my guilt thou didst atone,
Purify me now within. [Chorus]
3 By thy death my debt was paid,
All my life to Thee I owe,
Be my ever-present aid,
All-sufficient grace bestow. [Chorus]
4 Weak and helpless, sure to stray,
I am nothing, Thou art all;
Keep me in the narrow way,
Lift me when I faint and fall. [Chorus]
