Let Jesus Be Your Friend

When the path you tread is fraught with woe

And your heart is sad wher­e’er you go

When the dark­some clouds are hang­ing low

Let Je­sus be your friend.

Let Je­sus be your friend

Let Je­sus be your friend;

When your heart is sad

He can make you glad

Let Je­sus be your friend.

In the drea­ry ways of grief and sin

When your heart is sore and dark with­in

If you now de­sire His grace to win

Let Je­sus be your friend.

In the gloomy days of toil and strife

Wheresoever Sa­tan’s snares are rife

When ’tis hard to bear the cares of life

Let Je­sus be your friend.

He can bring you out of sor­row’s night

Into joy and ev­er­last­ing light;

He alone can lead your steps aright;

Let Je­sus be your friend.
