Life would be sad and drear,
Savior and Friend;
When gloomy clouds appear,
Savior and Friend;
Could I not rest in Thee,
Wert Thou not dear to me,
Had I no hope in Thee,
Savior and Friend.
Life would no solace know,
Savior and Friend;
Nothing could soothe below,
Savior and Friend;
Didst Thou not whisper peace,
When raging storms increase,
And bid the tempest cease,
Savior and Friend.
But Thou art very dear,
Savior and Friend;
First, Last, and all things here,
Savior and Friend;
And well I know Thou’lt be,
Through all eternity,
Ever the same to me,
Savior and Friend
