Johnston Hymnal: Crowning Glory No. 1 #45 (1890) First Line: Jesus, ever present Friend Refrain First Line: Jesus all-sufficient friend Lyrics: 1 Jesus, ever present Friend, Whom have I on earth beside? True and faithful to the end, Be Thou still my help and guide. Chorus: Jesus all-sufficient friend, Lead, and comfort, and defend, All in all I find in thee, Show thy power and grace in me. 2 Jesus, Savior, when alone Thou didst bear my load of sin, For my guilt thou didst atone, Purify me now within. [Chorus] 3 By thy death my debt was paid, All my life to Thee I owe, Be my ever-present aid, All-sufficient grace bestow. [Chorus] 4 Weak and helpless, sure to stray, I am nothing, Thou art all; Keep me in the narrow way, Lift me when I faint and fall. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Jesus, ever present Friend]
