Where is the Friend?
Author: Johan Olof Wallin, 1779-1839 Hymnal: Hymnal and Order of Service #325a (1901) Meter: 11.11.11.5 Hymnal Title: Hymnal and Order of Service First Line: Where is the Friend for whom I'm ever yearning? Lyrics: 1 Where is the Friend for whom I'm ever yearning?
My longing grows when day to night is turning;
And though I find Him not as day recedeth,
My heart still pleadeth.
2 I know He's there in every force and power,
Where waves the harvest and where blooms the flower;
I'm ever in my breath and sighs so burning,
His love discerning.
3 When summer winds blow gently, then I hear Him;
Where sing the birds, where rush the streams I'm near Him;
But better far when in my heart He blesses
Me with caresses.
4 And yet to hide Him oft a cloud prevaileth;
My prayer can reach Him, but my vision faileth.
Would I could see His face and heart so loving,
And cease my roving.
5 Oh, where such beauty is itself revealing
In all that lives, through all creation stealing,
What must the source be whence it comes, the Giver!
Beauty forever. Topics: Death and Resurrection Languages: English Tune Title: HERZLIEBSTER JESU, WAS HAST DU VERBROCHEN

6 Oh, light and peace, salvation's sparkling fountain,
Shall I thy source behold from Zion's mountain?
Who brings me to thy rills in rapture plying?
A peaceful dying!
7 My soul, be strong! Hope, pray with self-denial!
The heavenly Friend submits Himself to trial:
So shalt thou find in Him, on Him depending,
Mercy unending.
8 Soon, in the harbor, where no waves are breaking,
Or like the weary dove her refuge taking,
Thou, timorous lamb, shalt by thy Shepherd's favor
Find rest for ever.

The weary dove its final refuge taketh;
The timorous lamb shall by thy Shepherd's favor
Find rest forever.
