Lyrics

My soul is full of glad­ness,
My heart is full of song;
My lov­ing friend, my Je­sus,
Is with me all day long.

Refrain

He’s with me all the day,
He’s with me all the time,
My lov­ing friend, my Je­sus,
He’s with me all the time.

I hold the hand of Je­sus,
He keeps me safe al­way;
Thro’ un­known paths He guides me,
He’s with me all the day.

Refrain

I walk in bright­est sun­shine,
That shines along the way;
It is the smile of Je­sus,
He’s with me all the day.

Refrain

I hear the soft­est music,
Like bells of sil­ver chime;
It is the voice of Je­sus,
He’s with me all the time.
