Representative Text

1 I have a Friend who walks with me
By waters still or stormy sea;
Serene I go, why need I fear?
Just when I need Him He is near.

Refrain:
Moment by moment He dearer grows,
Each step of the way His love He shows,
He puts within my heart a song of cheer,
Just when I need Him He is near.

2 I have a Friend who will not fail,
Tho’ sin may tempt and doubts assail;
What matters, then, what foes appear?
Just when I need Him He is near. [Refrain]

3 With such a Friend to help me on,
I’m never, never left alone,
For all the way He gives me cheer,
Just when I need Him He is near. [Refrain]
