Representative Text

1 Jesus my Lord is real to me,
Daytime or when the night shades fall,
Whether on land or stormy sea—
He is my Friend, my All in all.

Chorus:
Jesus my Lord is real to me,
Constant and true, loving is He;
Always He’s near with words of good cheer,
Jesus my Lord is real to me.

2 Jesus my Lord is real to me,
Comforter true in sorrow’s hour,
Shares in my joys, whate’er they be—
He is my Friend, to Him I bow. [Chorus]

3 Jesus my Lord is real to me,
When I am tempted He is there,
Helps me to live, my duty see—
He is my Friend, His cross I’ll bear. [Chorus]
