[Music]
Come life, come death, come then what will,
Jesus is my friend.
His foot-steps I will follow still,
Jesus is my friend.
Jesus is my friend,
O hallelujah!
Jesus is my friend.
In the _Sacred Harp_ of 1859 this song, tune and words, is attributed
to the Georgian, J. P. Rees. I have heard my negro servant, Annie
Ware, singing it, or fragments of it including the final phrase,
"Jesus is my friend," in Nashville, Tennessee, 1932. It is found also
GOS 652.
