Jesus, Jesus, He is my Friend

Hymns designed for the use of the Second Advent Band (1843), printed pp. 10–11 (PDF 14–15). Words only: the hymnal prints no music.

Jesus, Jesus, he is my friend,
And will go with me to the end,
For every body is talking about
That very same Jesus,
That very same Jesus,
Oh glory, halleluiah!
For every body is talking about
That very same Jesus.

He spoke to Peter on the sea,
Saying leave your nets and follow me,
For every body is talking about
That very same Jesus, &c.

I love the Lord, I know I do,
I hope my brethren love him too,
For every body is talking about
That very same Jesus, &c.

Did you ever hear the like before,
That Jesus preached unto the poor,
For every body is talking about
That very same Jesus, &c.

Jesus spoke to me so sweet,
Saying children have you any meet.
And every body is talking about
That very same Jesus, &c.

Altho' you see me going along so,
I have my trials here below,
Yet every body is talking about
That very same Jesus, &c.
