Orr There is n frievd who sticketh closer than a brother A brother may bfl i friend in need But there is on? who is closer still, He sticketh when wc are in the mir<* And when we are very, very ill. A brother may some comfort give When we are steeped in sin, This friend will place u< on his beast And take us to the In::. This Inn is beyond the shifting sads Upon the Golden shore We enter there when life is past And dw?ll with Him forever more. He never -tops on half way ground, He'll go the journey through, Up the rugged steps of time, He'll be a friend to you. Neither powers ? heights nor depths Can ever separate Those who put their trust in Him From this friend 3o great. The furnace it was very hot, The Bible tells full well Heat it hottrr seven times Make it a fortitude of Hell. This-frierid he didn't dread a bit The mass of burning flames, The Hebrew children to rescue Because they loved his name. Daniel knew about this friend. He who to the lions' den was sent. Because he prayed three times a day In that den the night was spent. But this friend, this precious friend, Did he forsake him? No! He locked the jaws, the lions' jaws, And let poor Daniel go. Moses knew this Faithful friend When the bush the flames surrounded He took the shoes from his feet, Because he stood on Holy ground. He led the people all the way Into the Promised land, On Mount Nebo's lofty heights Was buried by His hand. This subject's getting awful broad I cannot comprehend The thoughts that fill my mind just now, About this precious Friend. I think of Noah, who built the Ark, And Enoch, who walked with God, Abraham, who's faith was tried, And Aaron with a buddied rod. I think of Joseph, who was sold And Job with patience tried, When in the world they travelled through Our Friend was by their side'. - Let earthly friends forsake me now, This Friend is mine, I know, I will not worry, dread or fear. As through this li::e I go. I'd be so zlad if life would come In clouds at midnight hour, And take us home to live with Him ? Where Satan has no power. i What a Friend have in Jesus. 1 All our sins and grief to bear. What a privilege to carry Everything to Him in prayer. ! Bow before Him, nil ye people, For in this world there is none other , Who really loves and sticketh Closer than a Brother.
