1. There is not a friend like Jesus In the trying scenes of life; He can hear the heart's faint whisper, Calm the tempest's raging strife. * Refrain: There is not a friend like Jesus, Patient, tender, kind, and true; If you'll be a friend of Jesus, He will be a friend to you. 2. There is not a friend like Jesus, Bid the scoffing world adieu; For if you're ashamed of Jesus, He will be ashamed of you. 3. There is not a friend like Jesus, Trust Him everywhere you go; He has trod the way before you, Suffered every pain and woe. 4. There is not a friend like Jesus When you draw your life's last breath; If you'll be His friend while living, He will be your friend in death. 5. There is not a friend like Jesus; What a blessed thought to be Folded in His arms of power, Ever in eternity.
