Was There Ever a Friend So True?

I have a dear Sav­ior who loves me

I know

And whose will I de­light to do;

He’s pre­sent to cheer me wher­ev­er I go—

Was there ev­er a friend so true?

Was there ev­er a friend so true?

Was there ev­er a friend so true?

I oft­en have proved Him

I ev­er will love Him—

Was there ev­er a friend so true?

This won­der­ful friend is a help­er indeed;

He has pro­mised to lead me through

And clos­er He comes than a bro­ther in need—

Was there ev­er a friend so true?

He soothes me in sor­row with songs in the night

And in­spires me with hope anew;

He fills me with cour­age my bat­tles to fight—

Was there ev­er a friend so true?

His love is a fount­ain of bless­ing so pure

Ever flow­ing for me

for you;

His pow­er is un­fail­ing

His pro­mise is sure—

Was there ev­er a friend so true?
