Sweet ’tis to sing of Thee,
Jesus, our friend;
Of Thy great love so free,
Jesus, our friend;
Oh, for a heart to praise,
Through all our earth­ly days,
Thy won­drous works and ways,
Jesus our friend.

When Thou wert here be­low,
Jesus, our friend;
Thou didst our sor­rows know,
Jesus, our friend;
Grant to each heart to feel
That Thou hast pow­er to heal,
And oh, Thy­self re­veal,
Jesus, our friend.

Tender and pa­tient, Thou,
Jesus, our friend;
To Thy dear love we bow,
Jesus, our friend;
Oh, in Thy spir­it pure,
May we our ills en­dure,
Trusting Thy pro­mise sure,
Jesus, our friend.

By Thy re­deem­ing grace,
Jesus, our friend;
We hope to see Thy face,
Jesus, our friend;
Then will we joy­ful praise,
Throughout eter­nal days,
Thy won­drous works and ways.
Jesus, our friend.
