1 There’s no friend like Jesus so helpful and true,
None other beside, when trials bestrew;
Tho’ often in sorrow and often in shame;
His love is abiding, forever the same.
Refrain:
His love is abiding,
Whatever betiding,
In Him I’m confiding,
All praise to His name.
2 There’s no friend like Jesus so constantly near
When heart-sore and lone my pleadings to hear;
He bids me lean on Him in deepest distress,
Forbidding the tempter my soul to oppress. [Refrain]
3 There’s no friend like Jesus, who hears what I say,
Who cares for my life, who watches my way;
He’s constant and loving and tender and true,
There’s no friend like Jesus to me and to you. [Refrain]
