Do You Long For A Friend?

1 Do you long for a friend who will love you
And for­ev­er be known as your own?
Let me tell you of One who is faith­ful,
When you’re wea­ry and sad and alone.

Refrain:
It is Je­sus the Friend of the friend­less;
Oh, let Him come in­to your heart;
Let Him in, He will give to you peace and joy,
And from you He will ne­ver de­part.

2 Do you long for a friend who can help you
When the world seems to leave you alone?
When there’s no one who quite un­der­stands you,
And the bright hopes of pro­mise have flown? [Refrain]

3 Do you long for a friend who’ll be­friend you
When the sha­dows of death lin­ger near?
Who will car­ry you safe ov­er Jor­dan,
Where there’ll be no more sor­row and fear? [Refrain]

4 Oh, re­ceive Him to­day who so loved you
That He died on the cross for your sin;
Oh, be­lieve Him, and op­en your heart’s door,
Let the Sav­ior who loves you come in! [Refrain]
