I have a Friend who walks with me

November 17

I have a Friend who walks with me
By waters still or stormy sea;
Serene I go-why need I fear?-
Just when I need Him He is near.

I have a Friend who will not fail,
Tho’ sin may tempt and doubts assail;
What matter, then, what foes appear?
When I need Him He is near.

With such a Friend to help me on,
I’m never, never left alone,
For all the way He gives me cheer;
Just when I need Him He is near.

Chorus
Moment by moment He dearer grows;
Each step of the way His love He shows;
He puts within my heart a song of cheer;
Just when I need Him He is near.
