My Friend

 

He whom the sunshine and rain doth send,

He whom breath and life to me doth lend,

I, all my hours to Him will spend,

My Saviour, Master, He is my Friend.

 

He who heals the sick, the lame, the blind,

In Him a very close Friend I find,

And regardless of my earthly bind,

My Friend’s beside me, before, behind.

 

He who speaks peace to the raging storm,

My Friend whom miracles still perform,

Lifts me above life’s mere meagre norm,

My Saving Friend, keeps my faith in form.  

 

He who dries eyes and mends broken hearts,

He whom surpassing peace still imparts,

His love for me none can pull apart,

My Friend, whose goodness never departs,

 

He who is truth on Him you can depend,

And thus my Friend to you I commend,

You’ll find Him most faithful to the end,

My Sovereign Lord, everlasting Friend.

Amen!
