1 The sinner's friend is our Saviour dear,
His only hope and plea;
Tho' the world forsakes, he will still be near,
The same evermore is he.
Chorus:
There never, no, never, was such a friend,
We'll ever, yes, ever, on him depend;
For ever and ever, when we ascend,
We'll praise our Saviour and King.
2 O where on earth can we find a friend
So faithful and so true?
Who will pilot us to our journey's end,
And guide us the whole way through? [Chorus]
3 To friends of earth we must say good-by,
When death comes to our door;
But we'll go with him to that home on high,
And live on that peaceful shore. [Chorus]
