Since Jesus Is My Friend

Since Je­sus is my friend

And I to Him be­long

It mat­ters not what foes in­tend

However fierce and strong.

He whis­pers in my breast

Sweet words of ho­ly cheer;

How they who seek in God their rest

Shall ev­er find Him near.

My heart for glad­ness springs;

It can­not more be sad;

For ve­ry joy it laughs and sings

Sees naught but sun­shine glad.

The Sun that lights mine eyes

Is Christ

the Lord I love;

I sing for joy of that which lies

Stored up for me ab­ove.
