Refrain: I’ll be a friend to Jesus, My life for Him I’ll spend; I’ll be a friend to Jesus, Until my years shall end. The world may turn against Him, I’ll love Him to the end, And while on earth I’m living, My Lord shall have a friend. I’ll do what He may bid me; I’ll go where He may send; I’ll try each flying moment To prove that I’m His friend. To all who need a Savior, My Friend I’ll recommend; Because He brought salvation, Is why I am His friend.

They tried my Lord and Master,
With no one to defend;
Within the halls of Pilate
He stood without a friend.
- Refrain:
  I’ll be a friend to Jesus,
  My life for Him I’ll spend;
  I’ll be a friend to Jesus,
  Until my years shall end.
The world may turn against Him,
I’ll love Him to the end,
And while on earth I’m living,
My Lord shall have a friend.
I’ll do what He may bid me;
I’ll go where He may send;
I’ll try each flying moment
To prove that I’m His friend.
To all who need a Savior,
My Friend I’ll recommend;
Because He brought salvation,
Is why I am His friend.
