Is There A Friend Who's Always Near?
 
Is there a friend who's always near?
Through every trial, every fear?
Who'll hold you when you cry,
And never leave you, nor say goodbye.
 
Yes, there is such a friend indeed,
Who always knows just what you need,
He'll walk with you through thick and thin,
And help you find your way again.
 
He's gentle, kind, and full of grace,
And in his love you'll find a place,
Where you can rest and be at peace,
And all your worries and fears release.
 
His name is Jesus, the Christ, a faithful friend,
Whose love really shall ever end
So come to Him, and you will see,
That He’s always near to be with thee.
