Christian Hymns ‎#359

359. Everybody's Friend

1 Jesus, royal, heav'nly Friend,
On thy kindness we depend;
Rich and poor and great and small,
Thou has gracious words for all.

Refrain:
Great of heart such Friend to be,
Best of all a Friend to me!
Let my life Thy praise extend,
Jesus, ev'rybody's Friend.

2 None so poor or pressed with care,
But their burdens He doth share;
Tho' our friends take other ways,
His dear presence with us stays. [Refrain]

3 But the kindest deed of all,
Was our ransom from the fall;
God-like friendship! freely He
Died for nations, died for me. [Refrain]
