Lyrics

There’s no friend to me like Je­sus,
He my ev­ery need sup­plies;
He not on­ly saves but keeps me,
Nothing good from me de­nies.

Refrain

Yes, in Him I’m ful­ly trust­ing,
Yes, through Him I’ll con­quer all;
For I know He saves and keeps me,
And He’ll ne­ver let me fall.

All, yes, all to me is Je­sus,
Blest Re­deem­er, Sav­ior, guide,
And from ev­ery foe de­fends me,
And in Him I’ll ev­er hide.

Refrain

I will ne­ver cease to love Him,
He who died to set me free;
Now in Him I am abid­ing,
And some day His face I’ll see.
