What a Friend

O my Redeemer what a friend You are to me

O what a refuge I found

When the way was dreary and my heart was so oppressed

Your voice, it lulled me to calm and rest

When in their beauty stars unveil their silver light

Then, O my Savior, give me songs at night

Songs of yonder glory where my dear ones gone before

Sing out Your praise on that peaceful shore

Nearer, draw nearer

Till my soul is lost in You

Nearer, draw nearer

Precious Lord

Jesus, my Savior, when the last deep shadows fall

When in the silence I hear You

In Your arms reposing, let me breathe my life away

Awake in triumphant eternal day

Awake in triumphant eternal day

Nearer, draw nearer

Till my soul is lost in You

Nearer, draw nearer

Precious Lord

Nearer, draw nearer

Till my soul is lost in You

Nearer, draw nearer

Precious Lord

O my Redeemer what a friend... You are

O my Redeemer what a friend... You are
