  1. 1A Friend I have, called Jesus,Whose love is strong and true,And never fails howe’er ‘tis tried,No matter what I do;I’ve sinned against this love of His,But when I knelt to pray,Confessing all my guilt to HimThe sin clouds rolled away.It’s just like Jesus to roll the clouds away,It’s just like Jesus to keep me day by day,It’s just like Jesus all along the way,It’s just like His great love.
  2. 2Sometimes the clouds of troubleBedim the sky above,I cannot see my Savior’s face, l doubt His wondrous love;But He, from Heaven’s mercy-seat,Beholding my despair,In pity bursts the clouds between,And shows me He is there.It’s just like Jesus to roll the clouds away,It’s just like Jesus to keep me day by day,It’s just like Jesus all along the way,It’s just like His great love.
  3. 3When sorrow’s clouds o’er-take me,And break upon my head,When life seems worse than useless,And I were better dead;I take my grief to Jesus then,Nor do I go in vain,For heav’nly hope He gives that cheersLike sunshine after rain.It’s just like Jesus to roll the clouds away,It’s just like Jesus to keep me day by day,It’s just like Jesus all along the way,It’s just like His great love.
  4. 4O, I could sing foreverOf Jesus’ love divine,Of all His care and tendernessFor this poor life of mine;His love is in and over allAnd wind and waves obeyWhen Jesus whispers “Peace, be still!”And rolls the clouds away.It’s just like Jesus to roll the clouds away,It’s just like Jesus to keep me day by day,It’s just like Jesus all along the way,It’s just like His great love.
