1 There’s a Friend Who will never forsake me,
His love is so full and so free,
Tho’ trials may often o’ertake me,
He always is precious to me.
Refrain:
Jesus is precious to me,
Dearer than all else is He,
Wherever I go, His love I will show,
For He is precious to me.
2 I can trust Him, whatever betide me,
He never unfaithful will be,
When the tempter is near, He will hide me,
And so He is precious to me. [Refrain]
3 He is always bestowing some blessing,
Tho’ I all unworthy may be,
My heart He is ever possessing,
And that makes Him precious to me. [Refrain]
4 As the end of life’s journey draws nearer,
New beauties in Him I can see,
Each day to my heart He is dearer,
And growing more precious to me. [Refrain]
