Blessed Friend

Author: Wm. Stevenson Hymnal: Coronation Hymns #13 (1913) First Line: What a blessed friend is Jesus! Refrain First Line: Blessed Friend, dearest Friend Lyrics: 1 What a blessed friend is Jesus! When I come to Him in need; Choicest blessings doth He shower When His promises I plead. Chorus: Blessed friend, dearest friend, What a blessed friend is Jesus! Blessed friend, dearest friend, What a blessed friend is Jesus. 2 What a blessed friend is Jesus! How He calms my guilty fears, When my eyes to Him uplifted, Show my sad, repentant tears. [Chorus] 3 What a blessed friend is Jesus! How He fills my soul with joy; O ye ransomed, sing His praises, And your sweetest notes employ. [Chorus] 4 What a blessed friend is Jesus! Saints and seraphs join your strains; Harps and voices all uniting, Praise the Lamb that ever reigns. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [What a blessed friend is Jesus!]
