Oh,
the
friend
who
loves
us
true
Walking
by
our
side
each
day
Oh,
the
friend
who
loves
us
true
Walking
by
our
side
each
day
He
is
the
one
who
loves
us
so,
our
dearest
friend
indeed
He
sought
us
out
in
every
place,
to
fulfill
every
need
Through
all
the
seasons
of
our
lives,
His
mercy
remains
sure
His
love
is
deeper
than
the
sea,
and
everything
is
pure
Who
among
our
brothers
here
would
lay
their
life
for
us?
But
Jesus
took
our
heavy
place,
without
a
single
fuss
Upon
the
cross,
He
paid
the
price,
for
every
soul
to
see
He
suffered
in
our
place
today,
to
set
the
captives
free
He
is
the
friend
of
every
soul,
the
one
who
stays
the
same
We
find
our
shelter
and
our
hope,
within
His
holy
name
Though
we
were
lost
and
wandered
far,
He
held
us
in
His
hand
The
greatest
friend
we’
ve
ever
known,
across
the
weary
land
They
mocked
Him
on
this
humble
earth,
this
friend
of
sinners
all
Yet
in
His
glory,
He
remains
to
answer
every
call
We
often
fall
and
turn
away,
and
cause
Him
so
much
pain
Yet
still
our
friend,
the
Lord
Jesus,
loves
us
just
the
same
He
never
turns
His
face
away,
though
we
may
drift
from
light
He
whispers
softly
to
our
hearts,
to
guide
us
through
the
night
He
is
the
balm
for
every
wound,
the
comfort
that
we
seek
The
strength
that
carries
every
soul,
the
humble
and
the
weak
He
is
the
friend
of
every
soul,
the
one
who
stays
the
same
We
find
our
shelter
and
our
hope,
within
His
holy
name
Though
we
were
lost
and
wandered
far,
He
held
us
in
His
hand
The
greatest
friend
we’
ve
ever
known,
across
the
weary
land
Teach
us,
Master
Jesus,
to
love
You
more
each
day
Help
us
not
to
lose
our
way,
or
let
our
spirits
stray
Keep
the
memory
of
Your
grace,
burning
in
our
hearts
Protect
us
from
the
bitter
sting,
that
vanity
imparts
He
is
the
friend
of
every
soul,
the
one
who
stays
the
same
We
find
our
shelter
and
our
hope,
within
His
holy
name
Though
we
were
lost
and
wandered
far,
He
held
us
in
His
hand
The
greatest
friend
we’
ve
ever
known,
across
the
weary
land
Love
the
name
of
Jesus,
the
son
of
those
who
weep
He
is
the
promise
that
we
hold,
a
vow
He’
s
sworn
to
keep
Our
friend,
our
king,
our
guide (
