I have a Friend-you ought to know Him, He is a Savior tender and true; Jesus, my King-how I adore Him! And He should be as precious to you. Refrain I have a Friend-you ought to know Him, Will you receive His greeting today? Waiting He stands, tenderly pleading: 'I am the Life, the Truth, and the Way.' I have a Friend-you ought to know Him, He is a faithful Shepherd and Guide; Sorrow He shares, burdens He lightens, Ev'ry good thing by Him is supplied. Refrain I have a Friend-you ought to know Him, Will you not let Him enter your heart? Peace He will give you without measure, Blessing untold, that will not depart. Refrain
