Meaning:
1.
What a wonderful Friend I have in Jesus!
He is able to carry every burden I bear.
He loved me so deeply
That He endured the curse and death for my sake.
What a Friend—
My precious Friend and Savior!
2.
What joy I find at His holy feet!
There, all my sorrow fades away.
When I remember His holy Word,
It fills my heart with wonder
And brings me such great delight.
3.
How joyful it is to gather
With fellow believers—
The strong and growing family of God.
When we come together
Around the Lord’s Table,
Every sorrow and burden within me
Seems to disappear.
4.
When I grow weary and groan under sorrow,
His hands hold me up and strengthen me.
And when He shows me
His countless acts of grace,
My heart overflows
With joy and gladness.
