Sheet music

  1. 1A friend of Jesus, O what blissThat one so weak as IShould ever have a friend like thisTo lead me to the sky.Friendship with Jesus,Fellowship divine;O what blessed sweet communion,Jesus is a friend of mine.
  2. 2A friend to lead me in the dark,A friend who knows the way;A friend to steer my weak, frail bark,A friend my debts to pay.Friendship with Jesus,Fellowship divine;O what blessed sweet communion,Jesus is a friend of mine.
  3. 3A friend when sickness lays me low,A friend when death draws near;A friend as thru the vale I go,A friend to help and cheer.Friendship with Jesus,Fellowship divine;O what blessed sweet communion,Jesus is a friend of mine.
