Sacred Songs and Solos Lyrics
Hymn No.1191

First Line: Oh, the best Friend to have is Jesus,

Oh, the best Friend to have is Jesus,
He will heal the wounded heart,
He will strength and grace impart:
Oh, the best Friend to have is Jesus !

The best Friend to have is Je - - - sus !
The best Friend to have is Je sus !
He will help you when you fall,
He will hear you when you call :
Oh, the best Friend to have is Jesus I

2 What a Friend I have found in Jesus !
Peace and comfort to my soul He brings ;
Leaning on His mighty arm,
I will fear no ill nor harm :
Oh, the best Friend to have is Jesus !
3 Though I pass through the night of sorrow,
And the chilly waves of Jordan roll,
Never need I shrink nor fear,
For my Saviour is so near :
Oh, the best Friend to have is Jesus !

4 When at last to our home we gather,
With the loved ones who have gone before,
We will sing upon the shore,
Praising Him for evermore :
Oh, the best Friend to have is Jesus !
