Sunshine No. 2 ‎#124

124. There is a Friend

1 There is a friend, a precious friend,
Whose goodness never fails;
His love remains each day the same,
His grace o’er all prevails.

Refrain:
Forever and forever more,
His hand of love shall guide;
And in the shadow of His wing
I safely will abide.

2 There’s peace and sunshine in the way,
Where’er this friend may lead;
By waters still—in pastures green,
He gives me all I need. [Refrain]

3 No other friend is half so dear,
And Christ I ne’er will leave;
By loving choice my soul is His,
I unto Him will cleave. [Refrain]
