They tried my Lord and Master

With no one to defend;

Within the halls of Pilate

He stood without a friend.

I’ll be a friend to Jesus,

My life for Him I’ll spend;

I’ll be a friend to Jesus,

Until my years shall end.

The world may turn against Him,

I’ll love Him to the end;

And while on earth I’m living,

My Lord shall have a friend.

I’ll do what He may bid me;

I’ll go where He may send;

I’ll try each flying moment

To prove that I’m His friend.

To all who need a Savior,

My Friend I recommend,

Because He brought salvation,

Is why I am His friend.
