�Twas He, Who watched beside you when life was dark and wild; 
who brought you safely Home, 
and named you His own Child. 

You�ve come to Him in pain, dear, 
And ever found relief; 
don�t let another tempt you 
to leave your Friend in grief. 

You oft knelt at His feet, dear, 
with sad and aching heart, 
and yet He never bid you 
Uncomforted depart. 

Though others crowd around Him, 
He still finds time for you; 
Ah Yes! He is the �Old� Friend, 
of all your friends, most true. 

Neither wealth nor high position Find favour at His throne; 
But lowly hearts are dearest, 
who leave Him not alone. 

He calls you to be �His� Child. 
Then harden not your heart; 
but come amongst His Chosen ones 
and live for Him, apart, 

The way may oft be weary, 
yet He has gone before; 
He only bids you follow, 
and love Him more and more.
