Jesus Is the Friend You Need

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.
