Hymn 655
I have a friend who is ever nigh
- mf I have a friend who is ever nigh,
Whether I sleep or wake;
Ever He guards with a watchful eye,
He knoweth the way that I take.
f He knoweth the way that I take.
And keeps me when asleep or awake;
And lead me for His own name's sakei
He knoweth the way that I take.
- mf I have a friend vho is always near
One who will ne'er forsake;
What though my pathway be dark and drear.
He knoweth the way that I take.
- mf I have a friend who will guide me on
Until the shadows break.
Leading me on, till my crown is won.
He knoweth the way that I take.
