FRIENDS. 
It is sweet to be loyed, when the sunshine is o’er us, 
And our pathway as bright as a clear summer sky ; 
When Hope’s fairy visions are dancing before us 
We are happier far, that our loved ones are nigh, 
And gratefully kneeling, 
Our glad prayer ascends, 
Our Father in Heaven, 
We thank thee for friends. 
! But oh ! 'tis when sickness or sorrow has found us, 
| And our sad hearts can dance to light measures no more, 
| That we lean on the love of the dear ones around us, 
I And learn how to prize them, as never before ; 
Then bowing submissive, 
The heart lowly bends, 
And we thank the Great Giver 
That still we have friends. 
Yes ! e'er will we bless thee, Our Father in heaven , 
In gladness, in sadness, through ail our life’s day, 
For the many rich blessings thy kindness has given, 
But most for the dear ones, who smile on our way. 
Now kneeling before thee. 
Our heart’s prayer ascends, 
With choicest of blessings, 
Bless all our dear friends.
