Refrain Get close to Jesus, He’s your best friend; Get close to Jesus, He’ll comfort send; In times of trial, in times of fear, Get close to Jesus, He’s always near. 2. He is the friend above all others rare; Even the sparrow is within His care; Much more to you will He His love bestow If to Him you will only go. [Refrain] 3.
