<p>One there is, above all others,<br>
|
|
Well deserves the name of Friend;<br>
|
|
His is love beyond a brother’s,<br>
|
|
Costly, free, and knows no end:<br>
|
|
They who once His kindness prove,<br>
|
|
Find it everlasting love!

<p>Which of all our friends to save us,<br>
|
|
Could or would have shed their blood?<br>
|
|
But our Jesus died to have us<br>
|
|
Reconciled, in Him to God:<br>
|
|
This was boundless love indeed!<br>
|
|
Jesus is a Friend in need.</p>
|
|
<p>Men, when raised to lofty stations,<br>
|
|
Often know their friends no more;<br>
|
|
Slight and scorn their poor relations<br>
|
|
Though they valued them before.<br>
|
|
But our Savior always owns<br>
|
|
Those whom He redeemed with groans.</p>
|
|
<p>When he lived on earth abasèd,<br>
|
|
Friend of sinners was His name;<br>
|
|
Now, above all glory raisèd,<br>
|
|
He rejoices in the same:<br>
|
|
Still He calls them brethren, friends,<br>
|
|
And to all their wants attends.</p>
|
|
<p>Could we bear from one another,<br>
|
|
What He daily bears from us?<br>
|
|
Yet this glorious Friend and Brother,<br>
|
|
Loves us though we treat Him thus:<br>
|
|
Though for good we render ill,<br>
|
|
He accounts us brethren still.</p>
|
|
<p>O for grace our hearts to soften!<br>
|
|
Teach us, Lord, at length to love;<br>
|
|
We, alas! forget too often,<br>
|
|
What a Friend we have above:<br>
|
|
But when home our souls are brought,<br>
|
|
We will love Thee as we ought.</p>
