The Silver Chime ‎#63

63. There Is a Friend

1 There is a Friend, a faithful Friend,
In ev'ry trial, ev'ry grief,
To cheer, to counsel and defend,
Of all we ever had, the chief.

2 A Friend who, watching from above
Whene'er in error's path we roam,
Still seeks us with his tender love,
And points us to our heav'nly home.

3 A parent's care may guard our way,
A faithful teacher o'er us bend,
But none can guard and none can save
Like Christ, our best, our truest Friend.
