<h2 id="id01017" style="margin-top: 3em">A Friend</h2>
<p id="id01018" style="margin-top: 2em"> A friend—how much it means<br/>
To be so true<br/>
In all we do<br/>
That others speak of us as such,<br/>
And call us by that noble name.<br/></p>
<p id="id01019"> A friend—how much it means<br/>
To have a friend<br/>
Who'll gladly lend<br/>
A helping hand to help us on<br/>
When weary seems the path we tread.<br/></p>
<p id="id01020"> A friend—may we be such to Christ,<br/>
Who gladly gave,<br/>
Our lives to save.<br/>
His life a willing sacrifice,<br/>
And showed himself a friend of men.<br/></p>
