When You Have Christ for a Friend
849

Why do you feel discouraged?
Why are you down-hearted and sad?”
God’s watchful care never falletin;
In that thouglit rejuler, be glad
For as sure as storm-clouds threaten
There is one who w will defend
No, insu need be disheartened
When he has Christfor a friend

Does the battle avem againat yon?
Are you heart-weary of it all?
He who knowith humen, weakness
Will not suffer you to fall
Letting his strength meet every need,
Bravely press on to the end;
A man need not be anxiou
When he has Christ for a friend,

What if your strength seems spent in valn?
What if you seem to stand alone ?
In due time shall come the harvest,
God will not fall his own
Al things work together for good
Even disappointments will tend
To fit you for nobier service,
When sou have Christ for a friend
It is God who gives the increase,
our work is to now the swed
Then it we have been faithful,
To be discouraged have we need?
Leave the harvest to the Master
Just keep right on to the end
Life cannot reiss its true meaning
When you have Christ for a friend
