The Best Friend to Have Is Jesus

Oh

the best friend to have is Je­sus

When the cares of life up­on you roll;

He will heal the wound­ed heart

He will strength and grace im­part;

Oh

the best friend to have is Je­sus.

The best friend to have is Je­sus

The best friend to have is Je­sus

He will help you when you fall

He will hear you when you call;

Oh

the best friend to have is Je­sus.

What a friend I have found in Je­sus!

Peace and com­fort to my soul He brings;

Leaning on His migh­ty arm

I will fear no ill nor harm;

Oh

the best friend to have is Je­sus.

Though I pass through the night of sor­row

And the chil­ly waves of Jor­dan roll

Never need I shrink nor fear

For my Sav­ior is so near

Oh

the best friend to have is Je­sus.

When at last to our home we ga­ther

With the loved ones who have gone be­fore

We will sing up­on the shore

Praising Him for­ev­er­more;

Oh

the best friend to have is Je­sus.
