THE BEST FRIENDSHIP.
If clouds arise and storms appear,
If fortune, friends, and all forsake me,
There's one to shed with mine the tear,
And to His bleeding bosom take me.
Blest Saviour! Let it be my lot,
To tread with Thee this round of being:
Thy love and mercy alter not,
When every sun-beam friend is fleeing.
O, be it thine to guide my soul
Along the wave of life's dark ocean;
And naught I'll fear, when billows roll,
Nor dread the whirlwind's wide commotion.
Thy love shall be my polar light,
And whether weal or woe betide me,
Through raging storm and shadowy night,
Its blaze shall shine to cheer and guide me.
If clouds arise and storms appear,
If fortune, friends, and all forsake me,
There's one to shed with mine the tear,
And to His bleeding bosom take me.
Blest Saviour! Let it be my lot,
To tread with Thee this round of being:
Thy love and mercy alter not,
When every sun-beam friend is fleeing.
O, be it thine to guide my soul
Along the wave of life's dark ocean;
And naught I'll fear, when billows roll,
Nor dread the whirlwind's wide commotion.
Thy love shall be my polar light,
And whether weal or woe betide me,
Through raging storm and shadowy night,
Its blaze shall shine to cheer and guide me.
