THE VALUE OF A FRIEND.
How few there are who appreciate
The value of a friend,
Whose love is so deep, sincere and true,
You can on it depend.
How often amid the storms of life,
A little help you need,
How cheering then to have a friend
That is a friend indeed,
And when those storms continue to rage,
And friends to shelter go,
The genuine friend stands by you then,
And helps ward off the blow.
God pity the man who would betray
The Christ-like loving friend,
Whose heart is with him everywhere
And will be to the end.
