Lyrics

There’s not a friend like the low­ly Je­sus,
No, not one! No, not one!
None else could heal all our soul’s dis­eas­es,
No, not one! No, not one!

Refrain

Jesus knows all about our strug­gles,
He will guide till the day is done;
There’s not a friend like the low­ly Je­sus,
No, not one! No, not one!

No friend like Him is so high and ho­ly,
No, not one! No, not one!
And yet no friend is so meek and low­ly,
No, not one! No, not one!

Refrain

There’s not an hour that He is not near us,
No, not one! No, not one!
No night so dark but His love can cheer us,
No, not one! No, not one!

Refrain

Did ev­er saint find this friend for­sake him?
No, not one! No, not one!
Or sin­ner find that He would not take him?
No, not one! No, not one!

Refrain

Was ev­er a gift like the Sav­ior giv­en?
No, not one! No, not one!
Will He re­fuse us a home in Hea­ven?
No, not one! No, not one!
