Author: Rev. E. A. Hoffman Hymnal: Glorious Praise #185 (1904) First Line: There is no nearer, dearer friend Refrain First Line: There is no sweeter name than his Lyrics: 1 There is no nearer, dearer friend
Than Jesus Christ, my Saviour,
Upon his goodness I depend,
And seek his love and favor.
Refrain:
There is no sweeter name than his,
No friend to me is nearer,
And daily, as with him I walk,
The way is growing clearer.
2 There is no other friend on earth
Who loves me so sincerely,
In him my soul is satisfied,
And O I love him dearly. [Refrain]
3 There is no one so kind as he,
So gracious and so tender,
A very present help in need,
A guardian and defender. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [There is no nearer, dearer friend]
There Is No Dearer Friend
