1 Do not ask me to go without Jesus,
For He is my own precious Friend
So faithful and true—
His will I must do,
And take Him with me to the end.

Refrain:
Do not ask me to go without Jesus,
My Savior and Friend divine;
I take Him with me,
On land or on sea,
For He is a Friend of mine.

2 Do not ask me to go without Jesus,
For always I want Him with me,
This Shepherd of mine,
This Friend so divine,
No matter wherever I be. [Refrain]

3 Do not ask me to go without Jesus,
Or stay where He will not abide;
For He is my Friend,
On Him I depend,
And always want Him at my side. [Refrain]
