Excerpt from The Monthly Packet, Vol. 21
Father to me Thou art, and Mother dear, And Brother too, kind Husband of my heart.' We call Thee Friend, for Thou hast taught Thy chosen ones that precious Name, With tender happy memories fraught That title, Master, dear, we claim, Confessing, while we have our breath, That love is strong - is strong as death.
Oh, stronger yet, and stronger far Wounded among Thy faithless friends, Love, greater than all things that are, Its very life with gladness spends: Friend of my soul! Let me rejoice, Hearing once more Thy longed-for voice.
