My Friend and I

Thou have never been a friend like Jesus,

I have never found a friend so true;

When I weaken and my steps grow wayward,

Then He comes to me with strength anew.

We walk hand in hand through this pilgrim land

Here we linger for a day;

But soon we'll leave this land of night

For that land so bright There my friend and I will stay.

Let me recommend this friend so faithful,

He will understand your deepest need;

For He walked this lonely path before us,

And He's able ev'ry step to lead.

We walk hand in hand through this pilgrim land

Here we linger for a day;

But soon we'll leave this land of night

For that land so bright There my friend and I will stay.
