Who Is My Friend

Who is my friend who's with me every hour,
Who brings me dawn and one more day to live,
Whose angel comes to guard me with His power,
Who gives me more than ever I could give?

If He wakes me for time to meditate,
and comforts me when down to bed I lie,
and brings me friends my birth to celebrate,
He also marks unknown the day I die.

Just as in youth He wiped away my tears,
and strengthened me throughout my growing years,
so He will be there as my leaving nears,
to lend His comfort, calming all my fears.

He does this for me basically for free,
so we can stay friends all eternity.
