I have called you friends.

If you know Lamberth or Mann’s full name, or where to get good photos of them (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),
I love the Lord, for He’s my friend,
My king, my guide, my all;
He’ll guide my feet unto the end
And raise me when I fall.
Refrain
O Lord, my king,
My friend in need;
I pray that Thou
My stumbling feet may lead.
He shares my joys when I am glad,
And smiles a loving smile;
He stands beside me when I’m sad—
He’s with me all the while.
Refrain
And when the voyage here is o’er
He’ll still my pilot be,
And land me safely on that shore
Beside the crystal sea.
