THE HEAVENLY FRIEND.

And there unfailing fountains flow, and pleasures never end.
Who makes that home so glorious? It is my loving Friend.

My Friend, my Father, and my Guide, and this our radiant home,
Are offered you. Turn not away! to-day, I pray you, "Come."
My Father yearns to welcome you, His Heart, His house, to share;
My Friend is yours, my home is yours; my Guide will lead you there:
Behold One altogether fair, the Faithful and the True!
He pleadeth with you for your love, He gave His life for you.

Oh, leave the worthless things you seek; they perish in a day.
Serve now the true and living God; from idols turn away;
Watch for the Lord, who comes to reign; enter the open door;
Give Him thy heart, thy broken heart: thou'lt ask it back no more.
Trust Him for grace, and strength, and love, and all thy troubles end:
Oh, come to Jesus! and behold in Him my loving Friend.
