1 Do you seek for a friend who is always the same,
Who will answer your sigh and your call?
There is just such a Friend, I will tell you His name—
It is Jesus, the best Friend of all.

Refrain:
Oh, the best Friend of all is the “Mighty to save,”
He ever will hear you call;
He poured out His soul to redeem from the grace,
Precious Jesus, the best Friend of all.

2 Would you lean on an arm that is able to quell
All the forces of ill that abound?
Grasp the hand that was pierced to remove Satan’s spell,
And thy soul’s dearest refuge is found. [Refrain]

3 Would you walk day by day in a halo of light,
In the smile of the angels of God?
Would you know the repose that no sorrow can blight?
Choose the path your Redeemer has trod. [Refrain]

4 Would you dwell evermore in the mansions above,
‘Mid the glories that fade not away?
Would you drink endless bliss from the fount of His love?
Give your heart to the Savior today. [Refrain]
