I have a friend who is ever nigh
Whether I sleep or wake;
Ever He guards with s watchful eye,
He knoweth the way that I take.

He knoweth the way that I take,
And keeps me when asleep or awake;
And lead me for His own name's sake,
He knoweth the way that I take.

I have a friend who is always near
One who will ne'er forsake;
What though my pathway be dark and drear,
He knoweth the way that I take.

I have a friend who will guide me on
Until the shadows break,
Leading me on, tin my crown is won,
He knoweth the way that I take.
