Lyrics

Earthly friends may prove un­true,
Doubts and fears as­sail;
One still loves and cares for you:
Jesus ne­ver fails.

Refrain

Jesus ne­ver fails,
Jesus ne­ver fails;
Heav’n and earth may pass away,
But Je­sus ne­ver fails.

Tho’ the sky be dark and drear,
Fierce and strong the gale,
Just re­mem­ber He is near,
And He will not fail.

Refrain

In life’s dark and bit­ter hour
Love will still pre­vail;
Trust His ev­er­last­ing pow’r,
Jesus will not fail.
