Bowed beneath the load of Your guilt and sin

There’s a Friend whose love breathes a peace within

By His pow’r the weak can the vict’ry win

Jesus is the Friend you need.

As through life you go, through the light and shade

He’s the Friend to help and to give you aid

Happy is the heart on the Saviour stayed

Jesus is the Friend you need.

When temptations sore shall your soul assail

Over ev’ry ill shall His grace prevail

Trust the precious friend who will never fail

Jesus is the Friend you need.

When around you dose darkest clouds of night

Trusting in His grace and His saving might

This dear Friend will bring everlasting light

Jesus is the Friend you need.
