There ne­ver was a tru­er friend than Je­sus,
He hears me when my heart for mer­cy pleads;
And no one knows my bur­dens like my Je­sus,
For He alone can un­der­stand my needs.

Refrain

Wonderful, un­fail­ing friend is Je­sus,
He fills my soul with sing­ing all the day;
Wonderful, eter­nal friend is Je­sus,
And He’ll go with me all the way.

There ne­ver was a tru­er friend than Je­sus,
My sor­rows He will al­ways with me share;
And since He bore His cross, my bless­èd Je­sus,
There is no cross He will not help me bear.

Refrain

There ne­ver was a tru­er friend than Je­sus,
He is my life and strength, my all in all;
Upon the strong and lov­ing arms of Je­sus
My soul shall rest, and ne­ver, ne­ver fail.

Refrain
