Where Is a Friend

I’d like to find the kind of friend

Who’d walk along with me,

Who’d hold my hand and help me stand

When life’s as grim as grim can be.

I’d like to find the Kindly Friend

Who made the sun’s warm glow

Who sends warm showers and scatters flowers

For His creatures here below.

I’d like to find that Kindly Friend

Whose hand is open wide

Who’ll stay awhile to ease a trial

And ne’er a blessing hide.

Where can you find a Friend so kind

Oh will you tell me, sir?

Could we meet upon the street

And would it cause a stir?

I’ve chanced to glimpse this Friend so kind

In faces all aglow

In quiet walk and gentle talk

In Christians that I know.
