236a. Jesus, Our Friend

1 Sweet ‘tis to sing of Thee,
Jesus, our heav’nly Friend;
Praising Thy love so free,
Jesus, our Friend.
O, for a heart to praise
Through all our earthly days,
Thy wondrous works and ways,
Jesus, our Friend.

2 When Thou wert here below,
Jesus, our heav’nly Friend;
Thou didst our sorrows know,
Jesus, our Friend.
Grant to each heart to feel,
That Thou hast pow’r to heal,
And O, Thyself reveal,
Jesus, our Friend.

3 By Thy redeeming grace,
Jesus, our heav’nly Friend;
We hope to see Thy face,
Jesus, our Friend.
Then will we joyful praise,
Throughout eternal days,
Thy wondrous works and ways,
Jesus, our Friend.
