1. Jesus, royal, heav’nly Friend, On thy kindness we depend;
Everybody’s Friend
Jesus, royal, heav’nly Friend,
On thy kindness we depend;
Rich and poor and great and small,
Thou has gracious words for all.
Great of heart such Friend to be,
Best of all a Friend to me!
Let my life Thy praise extend,
Jesus, ev’rybody’s Friend.

2. None so poor or pressed with care, But their burdens He doth share;
Everybody’s Friend
None so poor or pressed with care,
But their burdens He doth share;
Tho’ our friends take other ways,
His dear presence with us stays.
Great of heart such Friend to be,
Best of all a Friend to me!
Let my life Thy praise extend,
Jesus, ev’rybody’s Friend.

3. But the kindest deed of all, Was our ransom from the fall;
Everybody’s Friend
But the kindest deed of all,
Was our ransom from the fall;
Godlike friendship! freely He
Died for nations, died for me
Great of heart such Friend to be,
Best of all a Friend to me!
Let my life Thy praise extend,
Jesus, ev’rybody’s Friend.
