I have a friend who is ever nigh
"But He knoweth the way that to take". Job 28:10
1.
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.
Refrain
He knoweth the way that I take,
And keeps me when asleep or awake;
And lead me for His own name's sake,
He knoweth the way that I take.
2.
I have a friend who is always near
One who will ne'er forsake;
What though my pathway be dark and drear,
He knoweth the way that I take.
3.
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.
Amen
