When the sun shines bright and your heart is light
Jesus is the friend you need;
When the clouds hang low in this world of woe
Jesus is the friend you need.
Jesus is the friend you need
Such a friend is He indeed;
He who noteth every tear
He will banish every fear
Jesus is the friend you need.
If you’re lost in sin
all is dark within
Jesus is the friend you need;
God alone can save through the Son He gave
Jesus is the friend you need.
When in that sad hour
when in death’s grim power
Jesus is the friend you need;
If you would prepare ’gainst the tempter’s snare
Jesus is the friend you need.
When the cares of life all around are rife
Jesus is the friend you need;
Glory to His name
always He’s the same
Jesus is the friend you need.
