O Friend Without Jesus

Representative Text

1. I have a Savior who’s pleading above;
Have you? Have you?
I have a Savior who keeps by His love;
O friend without Jesus, have you?

Refrain
My dear loving Savior, my keeper, my King;
My blessèd Redeemer, Thy praises I sing;
Yes, I have a master so gentle and true;
O friend without Jesus, have you?

2. I have a shepherd who leads all the way;
Have you? Have you?
I have a shepherd who seeks when I stray;
O friend without Jesus, have you? [Refrain]

3. I have a Father who hears when I call;
Have you? Have you?
I have a Father who warns ere I fall;
O friend without Jesus, have you? [Refrain]

4. Who could reject Him, my Savior and King!
Will you? Will you?
I have believed Him; His love makes me sing;
O friend, I received Him; will you? [Refrain]
