Jesus, My Friend

By Henry de Fluiter

HENRY DE FLUITER

I HAVE a friend so dear, Constant and true is he; Filling my heart with cheer; So good to me! He's covered every sin and stain, His power can make me whole again, And soon with him fore'er I'll reign,— Jesus, my friend.

He's promised to return To this dark world below; Though wicked men may spurn, To him I'll go. He'll take me to my home on high, Where I shall live and never die, He'll wipe all tears from every eye,— Jesus, my friend.

Then why should sorrow fill Hearts that on him rely? His blessed, “Peace, be still,” Calms every cry. He fills with hope and courage now, And at the last, I know not how, Will place a crown upon my brow,— Jesus, my friend.
