1. Why should I charge my soul with care?
    The wealth in every mine
    Belongs to Christ, God’s Son and Heir,
    And He’s a Friend of mine.

            CHORUS

   Yes, He’s a Friend of mine,
   And He with me doth all things share;
   Since all is Christ and Christ is mine,
   Why should I have a care?
   For Jesus is a Friend of mine.

2. The silver moon, the golden sun,
    And all the stars that shine,
    Are His alone, yes, everyone,
    And He’s a Friend of mine.

3. He daily spreads a glorious feast,
    And at His table dine,
    The whole creation, man and beast,
    And He’s a Friend of mine.

4. And went He comes in bright array,
    And leads the conquering line,
    It will be glory then to say,
    And He’s a Friend of mine.
