Have you ac­cept­ed the friend­ship of Je­sus?
Do you walk with Him day by day,
Resting se­cure in His bless­èd as­sur­ance,
Lo, I am with you al­way?

Refrain

By and by, by and by,
They who walk with Him here be­low,
In His glo­ri­fied like­ness awak­ing,
As they are known, shall they know.

Dear as a mo­ther, or sis­ter or bro­ther,
To His in­fi­nite heart of love,
Is He that do­eth the will of the Fa­ther,
Seeking for strength from ab­ove.

Refrain

Servants no long­er, but friends He doth call us,
If we do what His love com­mands,
Yesterday, now, and for ev­er His pro­mise,
Fixed and un­change­able stands.

Refrain
