"Thank God For You"                   

 Thank God for you, good friend of mine,

 Seldom is friendship such as thine;

 How very much I wish to be as helpful as you've been to me--

 When I recall, from time to time,

 How you inspired this heart of mine;

 I find myself inclined to pray,

 God bless my friend this very day--

 So often, at the throne of grace.

 There comes a picture of your face;

 And then, instinctively, I pray.

 That God may guide you all the way--

 Some day, I hope with you to stand,

 Before the throne, at God's right hand,

 And say to you -------at journey's end:

 "Praise God, you've been to me a friend--

  Thank God For You!
