I’ve a blest com­pan­ion ev­er at my side;
He’s my Lord and Sav­ior, and He’s my guide;
I am trust­ing daily in His love di­vine;
He’s a friend of mine.

Refrain

Jesus is a friend of mine,
Friend of mine, a friend of mine;
Sweeter ev­er sweet­er, is His love di­vine;
Jesus is a friend of mine.

When I meet temp­ta­tions Je­sus bears me through,
Gives me bless­èd vic­t’ry and keeps me true;
Heaven’s gold­en sun­light round my path doth shine;
He’s a friend of mine.

Refrain

What a friend is Je­sus in this world of woe!
Oh, how sweet to trust Him, His love to know—
Blessèd Lord and Sav­ior, I’m so glad I’m Thine;
He’s a friend of mine.
