True Friends Help Each Other

lyricist: Amy Baker, 1875
Composer: John Stainer, 1875

True friends help each oth­er

Gladly give and take;

Bear with one ano­ther

For sweet friend­ship’s sake.

E’en when part­ed

al­ways

Love each oth­er still

Both in joy and sor­row

Sharing good and ill.

Onwards in life’s jour­ney

Clasping hand in hand;

Thus they seek to­ge­ther

Friendship’s na­tive land.

Happy home

where Je­sus

Best and tru­est friend

Waits for Christ­ian pil­grims

At their jour­ney’s end.
