Our Truest Friend

By William Brickey

WILLIAM BRICKEY
There is not another friend Like our Saviour, when in trouble; He will comfort to the end, Even though your grief be double.
When your sorrow is so deep Words can not express your feeling, If you humbly bow and weep, He will comfort while you’re kneeling.
When all other friends forsake, He can understand your trouble; Though your heart should melt and break, Then his comfort will be double.
For a broken, contrite heart He will not despise, when kneeling; He has realized the smart, And he has the balm for healing.
O the depths of Jesus’ love! Human words can not express it; And that holy, heavenly Dove Can but sanctify and bless it To the good of every soul Who will trust him when in trial, He can understand the whole; For he drank the bitter vial.
O the riches of his grace! When his tender heart was broken, When his Father hid his face, His most gracious words were spoken. Knowing how he’d been betrayed, How he’d suffered in the garden, For his enemies he prayed To his Father for their pardon.
