14743. True Friends Help Each Other

1 True friends help each other,
Gladly give and take;
Bear with one another,
For sweet friendship’s sake.

2 E’en when parted, always
Love each other still,
Both in joy and sorrow,
Sharing good and ill.

3 Onwards in life’s journey,
Clasping hand in hand;
Thus they seek together
Friendship’s native land.

4 Happy home, where Jesus
Best and truest friend,
Waits for Christian pilgrims,
At their journey’s end.
